Is it easy to tell a snake is caught inside without handling box very much?

I could not catch the snake for two months, only to fail. After that I found dried snake skin somewhere else. I don't know how it can be happen.

Yes - just place your head at ground level and peek inside. The copperhead that I caught actually dragged the glue board a few feet out of the box before the board stuck to a bush.

be very very very very very careful. The snake does NOT die when it gets stuck. It may take a couple of days for the snake to die. If the snake is big enough, you will see part of the snake outside of the trap.

Not really, I had to get down on the ground and look into it to see if a snake was inside.

I don't think so there was nothing in or on the box. but since you asked I guess it cant hurt to check into it. thanks.

no it is not. The cage has screen mesh that can cut or rub his skin raw. It is not well made and a large snake would break out of it the weight of the snake were to lean on to one of it's walls. This cage was falsely advertised and was not a good buy for me. I ended up giving it to a friend who had some lizards.

Yes it is very discrete. ...you would never know whats inside until of course you open it.

I have not had critter problems, but I take precautions, every cage is not foolproof. I places cement stepping stones and sand under mine to prevent dig unders. I also added knobs and a easy hook and eye latch. Still a good deal even with my personal care and improvements.

Not really no. There was a small smell when you first opened the box from the packaging but it wasn't very strong and was gone very very quickly.

I broadcast an entire container inside my 25 by 25 ft workshop. Would not expect it to last more than a couple of months. This one does not have the strong moth ball smell that some similar products do. I usually have a black snake living in the shop, which is fine, but want to keep out the copperheads and neither seem to be there now.

It doesn't do well with thing moving fast like birds. The birds might wake the camera up but by the time it arms the camera, the bird is gone. The pictures will most likely be blurred if you got one at all. Snake probably will not trigger the camera unless they are large and Move fast enough to catch the movement. I'd say no to both. TW

no, I don't think it is sented. I just placed the trap where I usually saw the snake and with in a few days I guess his curiosity got to him and he crawled in.

Have caught mice and lizards...very difficult to free the lizards so it would easily hold small snakes...I expect multiple sheets in some sort of box/trap would hold medium snakes and plan to try. E.TN

I agree with the other answers. The trap itself can be used any time (if it's cold in the attic.. check and make sure the glue stays sticky.. but be careful... it's VERY sticky and unforgiving). It's success will really be a function of knowing where the snakes are traveling, and placing the trap where they will naturally crawl through it, such as up against the wall as another answer said. There is no "bait" or anything to actually attract the snake, that's why placement is so critical... good luck!

Can you run another snake in with just a plain head to try and dislodge it?

From what I can see its just the color of hook. I use mine when my pythons get a bit grumpy. Well made and holds up well-my pythons are Royal Pythons so not too big about 3 pounds. It looks to me it definitely could hold a bigger snake. I also have a shorter one I mostly use as I have limited space at the moment. Good choice

no, the box is wood (comes in a paper box) with a very nice clasp to close. Sure wish they had put more bugs in the selection!

No. This affects a snakes ability to hunt because of the smell. When they cant hunt the treated area they move away to an untreated area. The package states it is for snakes only

There is no need to clean the unit after each kill since there is no blood common with snap traps. If you wish to clean the unit, insure the power switch is off before inserting anything inside. A simple counter wipe or paper towel with Windex or similar cleaning fluid would be adequate. I would not recommend any harsh scrubbing as this may damage the electrical wires connected to the metal plates.

It is easy to take off the tank, and the top latch door is fairly large so its easy to get in. It may catch little feet though, especially considering the quality of the mesh wire can be shotty. I had a dwarf hamster in it and he was okay feet wise.
