i relized the turkey vulture may have scared the lizard, yet i dont think the should have caled it a raptor and it is not a bird of prey. And they claim a trigger hair must be hit, then in the next 7 seconds another must be hit and the trap closes. I conducted my own experimant and found the info far from true. I took a tooth pick and hit one hair and after two or three seconds it closed. No other hairs were contacted. And they claim this special wating period is to avoid closing on rain water, yet mine closes at least once a week from watering, so in the wild when heavy spring rains occur i could only imagine all the closed traps.
