Re: Trapping
yea, I'm really not a fan of the whole snake stuck to glue idea. they call that humane? sure it's humane as opposed to killing the snake, but come on now... glue? howabout just leaving the snakes alone or gently moving them with a long stick, instead?

Re: Trapping
I personally don't think glue traps are humane...There must be a reason why they are forbidden in a country as Holland!
Besides that, I've seen quite some animals get caught in glue traps. Gasoline will help to get them off, but just try to imagine how that must feel...With all the fumes!

Re: Trapping
ick... i would never use a glue trap... one of my wild caught snakes got caught on some tape and it was very hard to get her off and it must have been very painful for her... but at least i didn't tear her skin... i couldn't imagine what i'd do then...

Re: Trapping
My garter got stuck on a piece of duct tape as it tried to break free from its old enclosure. That was not fun, I soaked it in warm water and was able to pull of the tape millimeter by millimeter... Glue traps is definately not a thing I would ever consider using....
I reckon a cardboard box with a small crack in the top and maybe some damp clothes in the bottom would be a better alternative. When the snake is about to shed, it will search for a source of moisture and will crawl into the box and will, to some extend, be trapped inside it.

Re: Trapping
yea... I am really upset over this product. how would you like to be glued to a box and then have vegetable oil or gasoline poured all over you. and then thing that gets me is that on the site it says "and the snake will generally be able to free itself in about 1 hour"
generally???? they call that humane? thats disgustingly wrong. I hope I never meet a peson who has put one of these traps to use. I had an escaped baby garter almost die because it got stuck on duct tape.
