Cut a hole on either side of the box large enough for your snake to easily crawl into.
place both traps in there close to the center. Make sure you tape them down. Now sprinkle the used rodent bedding a little bit outside of the box @ either(both of them) opening, as to make a small trail leading into the box. After that sprinkle the rest in the box paying careful attention to not get too much on your glue traps.
After you catch him you will need to spray him with Pam until the glue unsticks.
Then you can let him soak for a bit in warm water if you choose to.
This always works when I get a call that there is a snake on someones property when I get there it is gone. I have never harmed a snake doing this. If you don't believe me look these traps up.
They are simple, easy, cheap and harmless

kenchenzo i beg you please don't try this. There are so many thing that could go wrong. I seen a Burmese get stuck to a piece of duct tape use to hold it lid down. It ripped it own skin off trying to get away. And i mean it ripped all it skin off one of the saddest thing i ever seen. Snake and anything sticky don't mix. If you look on this site for i lost my snake threads you will find tons with helpful information. Remember you want to find your snake alive not dead.

Re: milksnake escaped.
Just a general no stick cooking spray. I am not trying to step on your toes Wayne, I am showing him something I use from personal experience. As with anything you can indeed hurt your snake. But it is so unlikely that his snake would get harmed that I think it's worth a try.
Look the method up on youtube or google.
Good luck!
Again I am sorry if I offended you Wayne. My intentions are good.

It is composed of a different thing than duct tape.

Re: milksnake escaped.
put flower or something dusty like that on the floor around places you might think the snake will go to show tracks. what i do and it works is i put a heat pad on a piece of tile then put another tile piece on top of pad cover it with just stuff to make it small and cozy and just check it every few hours. i catch my Houdini of a ball like that every time GL
