another guy i knew lost a corn and found him about a year later in a closet. hungry and extremely dehydrated. i never thought hed make it but he did.
The scotch tape thing would probably work well. I work for a pest control company and, while we do NOT treat/trap/kill snakes, we will sometimes find sticky traps with different types of snakes on them. Our technicians just use veggie oil or mayonaise to get the snake off the trap. They can also use warm water and dip the tape in it; it worked on a garter snake we found a few weeks ago on a trap.

And as for the corn that was found a year later, I would seriously, SERIOUSLY cry. I would feel so terrible and SOOOO relieved!!! If my corns got out, they'd be toast. I live in a 485sqft studio with 2 cats, 2 balls (heeheehee) and 2 corns. If one forn got out, my cats would be dining on a meal.
