I need some help. Does anyone know why a trap on a VFT will only open 30*. On the same b52 there's a trap that has opened 140* Deg why would one open a little and the other is almost flat. What would couse this? Any ideas?

Is it a new trap or an old trap? It can take a few days for a new trap to fully open. Maybe that's why it's only open a little bit? Just a guess...

That's weird. I'm not sure what could cause that. Maybe the plant is a bit shocked or something?

Same thing happens to me except for me the traps never open at all.

-Well actually I was there, and that's how I know the dinosaurs rode off into space.
-You weren't there!
