Our pest control guy came into the main building today to tell us that he was finding snakes at one of our other locations. He brought one of said snakes with him (for whatever reason, maybe he thought we wouldn't believe him?) Poor thing was stuck to a glue trap but fortunately, still alive. When asked what he intended to do with it, he said he'd probably just kill it or throw it away, so I asked to keep it. I spent the next few minutes with some cooking spray and qtips and in all honesty, freeing the little guy was a lot easier than I expected. Now he's chilling in a little tupperware dish with a paper coffee cup hide. Once I get him home I'll give him a little bit of a bath to get the rest of the oil off him and then make a trip out to my favorite hiking area to let him go.
Anyone know what kind of snake he is? Looks like a garter of some kind, but I'm no expert.
Is there anything else I should do for him before letting him go?
