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.
