Well...not yet, and he isnt a corn. But he is a tiny booger. I was informed that people at my office found him on one of those glue rat chatcher things. We didnt know what to do, we were about to cut off his head, but I waited...and thought....Ill call the company! Found out that oil based products will dissolve the glue!! YAY. Got a girl to take a lunch and she is running out to get some oil....I feel good today :p
 
Very cool, Congrats. My experience with glue traps is that there will still be some left on the critter. Luke warm bathe helpsloosen some of the dryed on glue. Do you know what kind of snake it is.....
 
I think maybe a garder (sp) snake? Dont know about the whole bath thing, I was hoping his next shed would kill any excess glue.
 
It will ,but those glue, sometime, will dehydrated the snake. Also check to make sure its mouth did not get glued shut(which if it is a garter it will let you know) ...
 
:):):)
That was fast! Looked like he was alright. The bottom of his mouth was glued to the sheet, but he was able to life it once we put the oil down. Tried to give him some water but he wasnt having it. Ya know, that was the first 'wild' snake I handled and he was pretty calm...kinda like my corn! I miss him already :( . He was trying to bite or anything, Im sure he was hella tired...we dont know how long he had been there.
