thinned with white gas??

Yes sir.
Think some use that gas dip you use for water traps too

Turtle trapping is such a blast. An adult snapper can be just as cagy as a coyote. Just like fur trapping, the anticipation of what is in the next trap spurs you on. The snapper with the biggest shell is not necessarily the heaviest. Heavy turtles are deep thru the body and usually oblong shaped. Removing snappers helps up the population of ducks but also the population of muskrats and mink. Interesting note: snappers eat quite a few blue herons. I learned this because they can digest the whole bird except the bill, they would poop the bills out in transport in my truck!!
I did not trap any last summer due to a new hip replacement, but hope to get a few truckloads this summer.
