I need some snake traps...ASAP.

No, not duct tape, thats just cruel. Some type of system where they slither up a ramp and fall into a bowl or something to get to a pinky maybe, but dont use tape. There is WAY to big a chance of the snake being hurt.

Its not cruel. The only problem I have with that is the fact of gettting tagled and bieng a Witch to get out. I have a non sticky trap right know...We will see. Im really hoping he gets to it. its a pinkie . and he is hungry. I hoep he finds it.

Using tape is a bad idea. Take the advice or not.

Painters tape?
well its not really painter tape. It is a special tape that is so unsticky that it wont ruin anything . it is made for house inspectors and home builders. Im using a few pieces of it it is harmless.

I also used a slightly different method to this trick in the past. I put low tact painters tape on the baseboards once. It caught the little corn snake wonderful. The tape barely has any stick at all. Its is the blue kind. Anyway...I am not suggesting anyone else use that trick...or there aren't better options...or that it would work for anyone else....but it worked for me the one and only time I had an escape artist. No damage to the snake's scales or eyes.

Good Luck!

Once the snake is caught, you bring the snake and the tape to the sink, and run it under slow-running warm water and use a very mild soap. You make sure the snake does not get tangled in the tape as well when bringing it to the sink. I have used it before, and have never had problems. I had gotten this tip from a breeder here a few years back, and it's helped me catch somewhere around 4 snakes that have escaped over time. The snake's are still alive and well, with no problem's (AfRock's, Burm's, etc.). You cannot just peel the tape off as it will probably tear the snake's skin, or tear some scale's off.

O my God you can not be serious:colbert: .We are talking about a small corn snake.Tape will tear of the scales and flesh no matter how much you try to make it unsticky.

good luck getting your little one back!!!!

Do me a favor.Stick a piece of tape in your hair and wait a few minutes then pull it off real quick.Now do you still think its not cruel:(

Snakes + tape = BAD BAD BAD!!!
The tape will win and your snake will loose a bunch of scales.
