I have the Lizard Minion Trap in my inventory (it's locked) and recently got the achievement for catching one (hooray) but I never got the RE. I thought I missed it but apparently I caught another lizard and also missed that RE.

I mean what are the chances I miss 2 RE's in a row? Is something wrong with it? Does anyone else get to see theirs?

This is not about seeing the Achievement counter go up; It does. I just don't want to miss expensive items.

I vaguely remember that when you trap the minion, you don't get the item. I remember being impatient to get done with that achievement so I could get stuff again.

The first time I got an item but it's totally possible that happened for the second...it is a mystery.

I get notifications sometimes but I've noticed that sometimes I do not. It could be that I missed them though! Apparently I've gotten 8 items from the lizards but tbh I can't be sure I got notifications for all of those either. Ultimately, I think it's completely possible that I'm missing notifications while I'm questing or something. So maybe that's the case for you too?

That's possible!
