Is that last pic mouse fur or dissolved snake? The former, I hope!First off, I am not a fan of glue traps but I do live in brown recluse country and I’m gonna do what I gotta to mitigate against necrotic flesh from spider bites inside my home. Secondly, I live in an older home that has gaps the mice can squeeze through when it starts getting cold outside. Finally, where there’s mice, there’s probably snakes.

Look at pic #3 (head out of water) and image #4 (trying to climb out of plastic container).Wait, is he still alive? You saved him?
I thought he was but wanted confirmation. Good on ya @VolunteerHillbilly most people wouldn't have gone through the trouble to save a snake. Rat snakes are welcome around my house. I can't stand chipmunks and mice.Look at pic #3 (head out of water) and image #4 (trying to climb out of plastic container).
I would never have expected it! There was a glue trap in my church choir office where I attempt to log in 1,000+ pieces of choir music, and I accidentally moved my chair - one chair leg - onto it. I didn't think I'd ever get that sucker off.
Amen. I now need a snake to handle a groundhog that appears to be at least 15# and a lot closer to 20#.I thought he was but wanted confirmation.

Visit the everglades and pick up one of the displaced Anacondas. A 20 footer should do the trick.Amen. I now need a snake to handle a groundhog that appears to be at least 15# and a lot closer to 20#.
(Lots of discussion about more sensible remedies on the Endzone Garden Thread, so not inviting them here!)
I was out hunting with a buddy once when I was bitten by copperhead. I asked him to run to get and antidote. He came back and started reading short stories out of Readers Digest. I said, “No you idiot, I need an antidote, not an anecdote. He was a Bama grad. GBOA foolproof way to distinguish venomous and non venomous snakes is look at the bite area on your leg. 2 or 4 punctures = venomous. A row or 2 of tiny indentations = harmless.
