I am in need of some snake traps that i can use to relocate them. I do not want to harm them, just catch and remove them before the home owners become there demise. Any ideas on what i can use that will work for the snakes sake. Thanks Dave

I made a snake box out of a old cordless drill box with air holes. The entrance is a 1 inch by 2 inch square tube that sticks inside the trap 2 inches with a 8 inch piece of bicycle inner tube hose clamped over it. This will allow the snake to enter but will have trouble getting back out because the tube lays flat. Bate with dead mice and see what happens. Thanks Dave

Glue boards have an excellent chance of killing them.

Only takes one touch of the nose on the board, and he said he wanted to release unharmed. What's the chances?

I release them off glue boards all the time just by taking them out in the woods and pouring vegetable oil on them. The important part is don't try to help them or you will kill them. I think a square minnow trap would be a good one. The round ones I think need some modifying with som fencing guiding them. More importanta than bait is location it has to be on their travel path. I'm getting ready to try a live mouse in some minnow traps in my field to see if they escape or catch snakes. For water snakes the minnow traps are definitely the way to go.
