I'm sorry for the short answer last time...I was aggravated about seeing a Wood turtle in a trap. I absolutely love Wood turtles.

Wood turtles will show up just about anywhere. They can wander quite a bit during the right weather, and no habitat seems off limits except for very deep water. Several gentlemen from the famed New York Herp. Society of decades ago wrote about finding Wood turtles buried in sphagnum bogs along with Spotted and Bog turtles!

It's kind of ironic...this person is marketing a trap to help save the fish in your pond from hungry turtles. A Wood turtle is the least likely of any aquatic turtle in its range to eat a fish. They simply can't catch them.

Cheers
