i use those glue traps but around here we dont get many herps. typically i just catch mostly spiders, crickets, and silverfish
The rattler's head was stuck along with his body. The putty knife trick works because while it removed him from the trap, he was still stuck to the knife.

Once removed, you can then easily restrain the head while rubbing them down with vegetable oil.
