    Agree, & if you leave it in a shallow bowl* with steep sides (so it can't "disappear" under substrate or furnishings & a shy snake can watch it & feel it has the upper hand) you just might have an empty bowl by morning. I've found this to work with many kinds of shy snakes...they have all night to smell it, watch it under cover of darkness & pounce on it when their instincts finally wake up.

    *Use a non-tip bowl (flat bottom) at least 6" across & 1.5"-2" deep.
