Abstract.—Semi-aquatic turtle population sampling commonly uses baited aquatic funnel traps. However, researchers may use different methods of bait presentation within these traps. Two common methods of bait presentation are suspension of the bait from the top of the trap (near the funnel entrance) or placement of the bait into the trap without attachment. We used both methods to sample populations of Western Painted Turtles (Chrysemys picta bellii) and Redeared Sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) at nine different trap stations near Americus, Lyon County, Kansas, and compared mean daily capture rates. We found no significant differences between the two methods of bait presentation.
