Would this work on snakes in my yard or would a different shape be better?

It'll work fine. It is really light on the back end making it very heavy on the blade end which could be perfect for cutting off a snakes head.

It defenitley step on them, but from a side. The lenght is long but I dont think it would work for a frontal strike.

Most likely, though personally I prefer to have a little more distance/reach. A snake can strike 1/2 the distance of it's body, so if you have a larger snake, it can potentially bite you when you are trying to take him out with this tool.

Yes it would, mostly if you had larger snakes. They make a smaller one that would be a lighter weight. Also, wear adequate footware because these are somewhat dangerous_

It works for me. I have it sprinkled around the house this late spring while not a sign of the gardener snakes yet, guess they are still in winter sleep. Then we didn't see them until the first pouring rain storm. After reapplied it, no sign of snakes again till another rain storm...

It worked on my chicken and deer problem. I would expect it to work on skunks. If you have a specific area to defend it should be effective.

I caught a pretty long snake however, it was skinny. It got caught on it's head and squirmed and got stuck on his body as we'll. Id say as long as the snake can fit in the box that you have a good chance of it getting stuck on the paper and not be able to move.

I would assume it would be decent if you can get it close to their nesting area. I just know it worked on the bats but they rely on sonar and this makes noise so it seemed like a perfect fit. I would ask someone who say it got rid of their mice or rats though.

I don't know but I sure wouldn't count on it. it didn't bother the harmless grass snakes here!

Think spoon! The reason they work for mice usually is that they get all fours on the sticky part. Can't picture a snake curling up on one.

I did not put it on any structure. I put it of the ground around the area's I needed. I didn't see any snakes so I'm assuming it worked. I used it in the mountains where we camp from May to September.

I think you really have to find someone who isn't afraid. I'm terrified of snakes and couldn't imagine how to keep them out of the yard, but this little device really works. It really takes care of the problem, but getting rid of the snake requires that someone who isn't afraid remove it (and kill it humanely, if possible). I suppose you could just slide the glue trap out into a garbage bag, but that's a little closer than I'd want to be. If you're really afraid, you'd probably want to find someone else to do it. Hope that helps.

It's taller than it is wide. I don't know how big your snake is, but I would really only recommend this type of container for insects and arthropods. I suppose if you were only using it on temporary basis it would be fine but not for anything long term. I hope that helps.

There is no problem with frogs in our yard. But I would still give it a try. It worked for snakes.

You should be able to remove snake and reuse the snake trap. We haven't caught any snakes yet, so I can't give any real experiences.

Definitely. I would suggest buying glue traps and attaching them inside a long box. So much cheaper and just as effective. I think mine worked because a mouse got trapped first and the snake went in after it. May seem cruel but live bait will attract Mr. Creepy a lot faster!

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

That depends on how much basking area you want. If just one, look at the back of the bulb boxes for temperature ranges in relation to the distance the snake is going to be from the bulb. Keep in mind that a ball python does not live naturally in a desert environment, so don't give him too much heat with a bullb that is too big. Also bigger bulbs produce hotter temperatures of the fixture. If the snake can get too close it might burn it. I hope this helps. Reptiles Rock!

Depends on the snake...Cordura can do lots of great things, but snake protection will require something further.

Snakes? eek. Not sure about snakes, but it does a good job of keeping the squirrels out of the feeder. I went through 2 plastic baffles then got this one.
