Vocabulary
The first picture is one of the traps we use. We hang the bait in the back door, put some fluff inside and set the door. The trigger platform is in the back near the bait. There are two sizes, this one is the bigger size, I think a 7" diagonal. The smaller has a 4" diagonal. These traps are for small mammals but we have caught snakes in them every once in a while.
This next picture is of a chipmunk we caught in one of the large traps. This next picture is of one arm of a reptile array. The five gallon bucket in the center is called the pitfall for obvious reasons. Then there are three arms of black, heavy plastic going out from the pitfall in direction 120 degrees from each other. Each of the arms ends in a reptile trap made of chicken wire. When I say "area" I only mean the next location I am to go to, and "plot" is the hexagon with 200 m sides and 10 traps per side and 19 down the middle. A burrowing owl has been caught in the reptile trap but they are supposed to catch reptiles. This is where I catch the snakes, lizards and scorpions.

That owl looks quite offended. Maybe he ate all the reptiles that were supposed to be in the trap and you interupted his lunch.
