South Mountain has some pics under the misc photo section: trap pics

Here is an old thread that had a pic of a commercially available trap and a rather creative "trap": Acme snake catcher

If you aren't hunting for anything too big

Cut the top third off of a two liter bottle. Fill base of bottle with dirty mouse bedding. Invert the top so the spout goes inside the bottle's base. Affix with duct tape. It has worked attracting snakes that have gotten loose in my home, so I'd presume it'll work in the field if placed properly...

I don't know how well they work, but I thought I'd post them anyway.

well my snke trap is my garage. i breed my mice in my garage and so when and if a snake sligthers in to the garage then my dog barks at it tell i come out and catch it. also my dog never attacks them, she wont even touch a hatchling let alone a full grown snake.
