Great Snake Catcher!!!
This method proved to be highly effective, though it did require some practice to fully understand its operation. Faced with a snake in the pond, I wanted an easy release method once it was caught. Within three days, the trap successfully caught the snake. I was able to transport it safely to a nearby swamp. The design allowed me to simply open the top enough for the snake to slide out and continue on its way without causing it harm. To prevent the trap from accidentally opening during the trip and to the snake’s movements, I secured the top with a bread tie. This precaution helped ensure that even if the snake became very active, the trap would remain closed until I was ready to release it. Overall, this approach provided a safer alternative to handling snakes directly by hand, the way I use to catch them.

Missing clip
This is a pretty good product and works how it should but it didn’t come with the clip to hold it together so I had to makeshift some string but other than that it is a great product and is pretty strong. If I run into anything else I edit this.

Great for snakes!
Have had mine for 5 years now. I use it to catch small/med sized snakes eating my chicken eggs for release elsewhere. Leave it in the coop for the scent, throw an egg in it for bait. Works great! nice and sturdy. Actually coming back for a second one to get some minnows!
