HI. In the basement of my house a Garter Snake, I'm not sure what kind, got itself stuck in a tom cat mousetrap, then fell into the french drain (a little trough at the base of the wall). It caught the snake in the fat center part of its body. I have bot been here for a while, and until Sunday had no idea it was there. I have however been informed by my father that he found it there around a month ago. It is still alive today and and we got it out of the mouse trap yesterday. We then put the injured Garter Snake into a large plastic bin (18 gallons). At first it bled a lot all over the bin. Although after several minutes the bleeding subsided and the blood seemed to have clotted and it was no longer bleeding puddles. We decided it needed some food so we put some raw egg in a condiment cup in the bin. This is because my father had a snake that years ago he fed egg, and the snake ate it. We put the bin back in the 70ish degree basement with very thick cardboard over the top of the bin (there are air holes). When we check back on it, it has eaten none of the egg. Also 20-30 minutes after the snake was put into the bin there was a strange white blob, roughly the size of a quarter, in the bin as well. We then pored some water directly into the bin, and the snake laid its head into the water. Considering that the snake looks very ill and injured, and considering that for the next week where I live there is an excessive heat warning in this area, we decided to keep the snake in the bin in the basement to give it the best chance of survival. Today (Tuesday) we put some grass into the bin for the snake to hide in, also we put in the bin a rock. As well as some clean water in a lid (the rest of the water absorbed the blood, and is now stained red). Also we caught five worms of various sizes and put them into the bin. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance. P.S. I named the snake Grenadine. Thanks.
