For those with experience with the Squirrelinator trap

I've always used a regular spring loaded cage type live trap to trap squirrels. I've trapped a bunch of them over the years, but now we have a skunk in the area. I trapped it once last year and was fortunate enough to be able to release it without it spraying. I've been skittish on setting the trap out since then because I don't think my luck will hold much longer.
I'm either going to buy a spray proof trap or the Squirrelinator. I see that the Squirrelinator has a shorter opening than a normal live trap. For those who have it, does it look like a grown skunk can get into that trap easily? Otherwise, I really like that it is a repeating trap. I just don't want to spend that $70-80 if it can catch a skunk as easily as a regular live trap.
Bonus:
Over the years of using the regular live traps I have caught untold squirrels, the same possum three different times in four nights, two wrens, a sparrow, a cardinal, two skunks, a rabbit, and a field rat.

I would think not. I’ve only ever had squirrels in mine. But I’ve also never seen skunks around my property.

What’s your secret for the live box traps and squirrels?

I bought a squirrelenator and few weeks ago and then found out a coworker had one, so he let me use it. I was running both and caught 4. Then started running just one and caught 2 in 2 days Friday and yesterday. They def work. I pulled mine up for about a week to “reset” the squirrels because they became wary of it. That’s when I caught the 2 back to back. Would recommend. I have one more to catch and should be done with them and will see what happens again next fall/winter.
