What engineering genius invented this? What do you do with it once the reptile is stuck?

Saw this at Tractor Supply. The photo is a copperhead

Slap another one on top and make a snake sammich??

I reckon it is supposed to hold him while you get a shovel.

Terrible product. Kills mostly harmless snakes and there is damn sure no good way to remove a venomous one!

Much like the rodent glue trap, you wait for it to die before you pick it up...

Problem is, a snake can live for months without food.

While they can be effective, glue traps are touted as "humane" when in fact they are incredibly cruel, rendering the animal to die a slow death of thirst and starvation.

From my experience with these, it puts an animal into respiratory distress as their breathing is almost completely restricted the more they get stuck.

Typically when a mouse gets stuck in it, after their paws can't free them they will stick there nose in them to try to push off. So they die from suffocation long before starvation.

Hate sticky traps. Snakes can be removed with vegetable oil if they haven't died yet. I'm good with nonvenomous ones, but it would be fun to release a copperhead!
