you left a live mouse stuck to a trap? :no::no::mad::mad::no::no: whatwould happen when the snake then gets stuck to the same pad??

I had the same thought. I'm distressed you let an animal languish like that. Putting the mouse in a steel cage I can see, with food and water but stuck piss scared and hurting on a sticky pad, that is cruel, don't ever do that again. Rob is right too, a snake could get stuck. The mouse could chew him while he pulls his own skin off.

glad you found him.

[moshirimon]

Yea mouse on sticky pad was really dumb.. poor mouse. I think it wouldnt be much less affective if you had just left a thawed out mouse ..

[moshirimon]

Or even with a split head.. just some things I would try. Not sure how it would work I've never had a snake escape

Before we jump all over this guy, let's pause to consider the fact that never did he say that the mouse was deliberately left there for the snake to find. In fact, one of his posts on the other thread insinuates that he has a mouse problem preexisting within his household; it sounds to me more like a mouse got caught and he hadn't found it before he went down to check the traps when he found his snake.

Could he have selected more humane traps? Probably. But it's important to realize that he probably didn't stick this mouse to the trap in order to lure his snake out of hiding. He expressed surprise, in fact, that the snake made it down to the basement. For all we know, he could have removed his mousetraps from the rest of the house for safety's sake. Not havin' a go at anyone, just reminding us that we only KNOW what we're told.

i wasn't even going to say anything. sticking a distressed, live creature to something would break my heart. lol

Completely agree with you I also read the other thread and recall him saying he had a mouse problem :)

[jpython]

Wow I'm glad people actually read that I've caught 12 wild mice not deliberate and if the snake got stuck I know an organic solution to neutralize the glue!!!!!! I may not be a pro at hunting down snakes in 1ft tunnels I can't see in, but I'm not an idiot. Get off the pedestal please, and thank you to the people who actually helped me and had my back.

[moshirimon]

Sorry, misread. Honest mistake.

[jpython]

And to add, these mice chew my wiring so my house could burn down; and that means 3 ball pythons, 3 pitbulls, 2 cats, 3 humans, and 15 fish could die because of a mouse. So ask yourselves what's worse: a sticky trap or a fire trap?

Slow down there, buddy; the misunderstanding was that they thought you intentionally stuck a living mouse to a sticky trap to lure your snake out; that's what had people upset. No one said you should let the mice run rampant through your house.

Honestly, the way he worded it sound like he stuck a mouse there so it would get distressed and lure the snake in, im not the only one who made the connection. I apologize that this isnt the case but you cannot blame us for having one plus one and getting two, how were we suppose to know that one was a "l" and not "1". We only had the info given to us, you didnt elaborate on the mouse OP, dont blame us for making connections.

True, but I feel as though it's really worth assuming the best out of people; part of this means double-checking and confirming when we see or hear them say something that sounds as wrong as that. A quick re-read of his initial post in this thread and a scan of his posts in the other thread provided ample doubt, at least to me, that he had done what he was accused of.

We only had the info given to us

And when the sum of all givens proves insufficient to truly draw a completely valid conclusion, it falls upon us to read between the lines CAREFULLY, or request more information. Not trying to start a fight or be condescending, just trying to explain my stance here :)

i would use a neck breaker trap or rat poison of some kind. i don't believe in making things suffer more than necesary. other than that i don't need any judgement or third degree and i certainly wasn't passing any.

[Squirtle]

What's wrong with mice getting stuck on sticky traps? They're pests. I see them in the streets of NYC stuck on sticky traps, breathing their last breaths, and just move about with my day.

[infernalis]

Let's just drop the whole glue trap bit OK, too much drama over a mouse trap.

I am glad the python has been recovered, move along now to other things.
