Yeah, it works. I designed a trap for Montpellier Snakes (Malpolon) (don't tell anyone!) and it worked a treat. The entrance/exit requires careful thought though.

Yeah, somebody else on this forum (forgot who) said they did that with their chain link fence. If you do make it can you show some pictures so I can get an idea?

how do keep the mouse alive

abcat1993 · 03-28-2007, 06:49 PM

It would probably eat a dead one, so buy live, stuff with food, then let die.

Do any of you know of any other working DIY snake traps?

The funnel idea is pretty much the same as the one I made, only I made the actual body of the trap from 6" plastic soil pipe. Light and easily portable. It worked pretty well.

I guess it's not really a trap, but can't you just put some wooden boards down in a sunny field?
