I believe he was going for advantage. Why not try searching through some old threads on lost snakes?

what exactly do you have for a "snake trap" ??

Duct tape!! And a contraption.

Duct tape around snakes? You must be kidding FF!

I was the one who told him about the duct tape. You get a non-toxic, adhesive duct take and a piece of plastic and keep peeling it off the plastic until it isn't quite as sticky as it was. thumbtack it onto the floor along the wall's, and check it every few hour's. 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.

In my opinion, not a good idea. Regardless of whether it may work, adhesives and snakes dont mix.

I use it as a last resort It depend's on the size of the snake, etc. If the snake is large enough to pull itself free, then no. If you do not feel safe using it then no...not a good idea. If the snake can pull itself free, then it can do some damage, but with the size of his corn, and the fact that ratsnake's really aren't as strong as pythons...I don't see anything that could go wrong, other than if he accidentally got the snake tangled in the tape, or if he tried to peel it off of the tape.
