Glue Traps are Evil

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves, so we’ll let this #SnakeHero tell the story in their own words. THANK YOU @RebelHawk12 for saving this Gophersnake and preventing future suffering.

And please, DON’T use glue traps — they are a cruel way to kill.

I took it with me in a box until I could get home and try to save it.
I cut the bulk of the bag off and worked on the glue trap.
I started trying various tools to cut it open without hurting the poor snake. THEN discovered that they pop open. Thank goodness! pic.twitter.com/yv4HzRkyeQ

Success!
So, this is my first glue rescue, and I need help/advice!
Bull snake friend is still covered in glue and now vegetable oil.
What do I do before I release it?
I have it in a bucket and gave it water to drink, but what's the recommended method to get it clean? pic.twitter.com/TTjHBFcKjZ

It's been 20 years since I had a pet snake, so I really enjoyed the brief time having it hold onto me 😍
I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to save it! This flower bed has voles and mice fairly often, so maybe I'll get a glimpse of this snake individual again. Thank you all! pic.twitter.com/OPQ8m4XB1P
