Rob if you would like to get all of the actual specs let me know and I will have Kevin email you all of the details (wish I would have taken some pics for you now of them). Basically it is as follows. The arrangement is in the shape of a Giant T
with one row going North the other south and the last west to shape the T. each section is about 30 to 50 m long and has a total of 4 funnel traps. one on each side at the ends. The traps have a lid that flips up that has a styrofoam like cover on the lid to provie shade. there is usually about 10 to 20 meters between sections heading in each direction. that the T junction point where the traps head west the two traps right at the junction are open at both ends (i do think this may let a few coachwhips or whipsnakes get out easier as they may just bridge the distance.) If you want email me and I will try to get into greater detail with everything. I head out Monday but will take pictures of the traps for you. I dont get email out there but will be gone for about 10 days but that may become longer. Take care.

Chip
