A Snake Catching Guide.

1 - The safest option is to set a snake trap.
A professional snake expert can help you if you are not able to catch it yourself.
When you can absolutely ID a snake and know that it isn't venomous, grabbing it with thick gloves can be one of the easiest ways to catch it. Put it in a pillowcase and move it.
A snake hook or snake tongs, such as seen below, is the best way to catch a snake if you don't want to touch it or can't identify it.

But remember - Most bites happen when people go after or even attack snakes, so you're probably best off just leaving it alone! In most cases, a trap or experienced professional is the best option. You can find both at the bottom of this page.

When you sit bent over in a garden, in the heat of the day, you are likely to be unnerved by a thin, long body suddenly slithering beneath your feet. The snake also enjoys your garden, and he has watched you pull rocks and weeds out of the soil. Eventually, you'll likely avoid your garden altogether if this happens too often, and you will become nervous when grabbing into a clump of vegetables. For someone who appreciates the fruits of his or her labor, it is a great tragedy to abandon it. Trying to catch the snake might be a good idea.

If you have trouble catching the snake, double check what type of snake it is. The handling of a poisonous snake requires a professional touch, if not more. As long as the snake does not bite, you are ready to start.

Getting back into your garden is the first step. You know this is where the snake is, so you will have to go in there to catch it. Your goal is to distract the snake using a branch, yard stick, or fire poker. Make sure your tool is close to the snake's head while keeping the animal's attention. Using your other hand, you're going to pick up the snake's tail. Let the snake rest on the ground for the majority of its body. Picking up a snake by just the tail is one of the worst things you can do! Using your stick, gradually lift up the front end of the snake. As you hold the serpents tail, the other hand should be holding the stick which holds up the snake's front end. With this positioning, you will be able to control the reptile's body without putting yourself at risk. Get the snake to a safe place where it can be relocated. For animals without a nearby haven, you can transport them in a pillowcase by vehicle to a safe location. The head of the snake should be gently pointed in the direction you want the snake to travel. Spread the snake out in a pillow case so that the body is partially covered. Place your pillowcase on the ground and walk away. Once the snake has departed, you may retrieve your linen.

To make the above method less direct, you can try throwing the snake into a large garbage bin. Broom the snake into the bin after placing it on the ground. Avoid hitting or pushing the snake in; you don't want to damage it. Because the sides of the bin are smooth, snakes cannot climb out and can be relocated safely.

In case your snake is inside your house, you can remove it with a shirt and a pillowcase. Scoop up your shirt or light blanket and place it in the pillowcase with the snake. Use a garbage can or large storage bin to place the pillowcase inside so the snake can come out if desired. The lid should have holes for air flow. You can now transport your snake. Is it safe to handle a snake with your bare hands?

The safest method of removing snakes is with professional-grade snake traps. Nonetheless, there are a few traps that have earned the endorsement of wildlife professionals. You can remove the snake from your property using these traps without having to handle the snake itself. Snakes are typically aggressive, so if you're not sure what kind you're dealing with, a hands-free method is your safest bet. What should I do after I catch a snake?

The snake(s) can be caught in three different ways. To begin, you can call a professional wildlife expert from the following list. The person can catch and remove the snake(s) and take other measures to solve the snake problem. As a second option, you can buy a snake trap if you intend to catch the snake yourself. If you don't want to figure out how to catch snakes, you can modify your property and seal your house to keep them away.

A SNAKE TRAP IS ANOTHER OPTION
Snake traps can catch snakes indoors. Outdoors, glue-based traps should be avoided because they can catch other small animals inhumanely. The design shown below has been field tested and has proven to be durable and effective. Snake traps that are offered on the market are not as good as these.
