She is about 8 inches long.
Rich, Here's an idea for a trap that works. Take a plastic two liter soft drink bottle and cut the top off at the point just before it starts to reduce in size. Invert the top section and insert it into the bottom section. You now have a container with a funnel attached. Tape the two sections together and rub the inside of the funnel with fish. The snake smells the fish and goes in, then has a problem finding it's way out.
