Snake catcher
It worked! I made up a length of PVC pipe with a noose on the end. The free end of the noose runs up the middle of the pipe, terminating with a handle. You slip the noose over the snake and pull the handle. I used it once this year, and thought it worked just OK. But now I'm thinking it is pretty good because Mrs. Jazz used it yesterday afternoon to nab a 4+ foot rat snake that was in her potted fern. It was using the fern as a stepladder to get to a nest of baby birds, and Terri wouldn't have any of that!

And no, she didn't kill it. She dropped it into a bucket and moved it up the road a bit.

Re: Snake catcher
No. I think I saw something like it, years ago, on some wildlife show. I'm most impressed that Terri was able to use it.

Re: Snake catcher
Why don't you post a picture of your device? I'd like to see it and maybe build one myself. Would you mind?

Re: Snake catcher
I'll try to remember to do that, Lee. I'm still trying to figure out for what I tied this string around my finger. It's been here for about 3 months now.

Re: Snake catcher
I could have used that yesterday but I decided to use the 20 gauge instead.

Re: Snake catcher
You know if you replaced the cord with some 1/8" wire and pulled a little harder..... [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
