The great Snake Escape...Part 4...New trap made.

As the search continues into its 9th day i have kept my self busy from worrying with devising a new snake trap. Actually it was mums idea. 

Using Sparkys old glass tank, with a few moderation's i have converted it into a large snake trap. 


I taped some cardboard where the lid should go, and cut a hole on the bottom. i then placed half a mousetrap in the hole. I also filled the tank with some bark chippings and placed Sparkys rock hides inside. hopefully the smells will be familiar and he will stay in.i placed a mouse inside to as he should be getting hungry soon. this is now sat onto a heat mat, to make sure the tank is warm for him. if he goes for the mouse he hopefully will stay inside the warm cage to digest his meal!!  That's the plan anyway.  Fingers and toes are crossed!
