Pitfall traps
with drift fences are widely used for trapping amphibians and reptiles in
terrestrial habitats. Pitfall traps are
generally round or square containers (cans or plastic buckets) of
varying sizes, that are placed in the ground with the tops flush with
the surface of the soil. Drift fences serve to divert the animals into
the traps.
