Looking at the ficus, I can see how it would be possible to add a mechanism that would close the mouth using a concealed spring when someone touched a trigger/tongue – might have to try that myself. What would be really cool would be adding a circuit that would open the mouth and re-set the spring mechanism for the next “victim” – I’d need quite a bit of help with that I’m afraid…
