The Solarium Turtle Trap

     
Solarium Trap
This is the first trap for turtles that we built! It worked great but a little too big to handle. Now the freight rates came up and we are no longer building them. It has to ship via truck which is no longer cost effective!
We also discovered that we could send you two Sundecks via UPS for less than we could ship just this one trap. Two traps in unique locations are much more effective than one large trap!

I left the old description on this page because I'm still a little sentimental about it
This Trap really Works! Caught 26 Turtles in 2 weeks, caught 11 more by the next weekend.
Sorry, not U.P.S.able. THIS THING IS BIG! Approx. 66 in. X 66 in. Just barely fits in the back of your fleetside pickup truck  Now made with vinyl coated wire!  Wire ramps make climbing into our trap a natural for turtles!

Second Image--John Farrell caught the 29 turtles in the picture on the right in only one week on the Jim Sherman Property. This also shows the new Solarium Trap with the vinyl coated wire and PVC handles. These traps really work great! Has Bait tower in center for chicken necks or fish! ***NEWS UPDATE*** John just informed me that he has caught 101 turtles in only 7 months! Now that you know how to catch a lot of turtles -- would you like to know how to catch a lot of fish? Just click here!
