Will this trap work with snakes? If so...how big of a snake?

Yes, that's what I used it for. It also accidentally caught a puppy (oil got him off). It wouldn't stop a 4-footer, but it does great with a less than two foot skinny snake. Perhaps you could put down 2 with a little space in between.

I bought this kit for my trip to the southwest thinking I might encounter snakes. I'm not sure it would work for ticks, but you should try since it does have a suction action and ticks do bury themselves deep into the skin...can't hurt..let me know if you're successful. you can also google 'how to remove a tick"

It should, I would camouflage the trap if possible because shrews are more timid. And know what the shrew eats- better your chances of out smarting it.

I have had three catches and each time the snake and the insert were out of the box. The snake will try to wiggle out of the trap, but is so stuck to the insert that they can't get off it, but managed to get the insert out of the box. I just picked up the insert by the edge (at the tail end and not the head end) where there is no glue, put the snake and the insert in a bucket, walked down to a nearby wooded area, and poured vegetable oil on the snake. It took about 10 minutes but he finally managed to wiggle free and slither away into the woods. I did not want to kill it, just get it out of the garage. I suppose if it was a poisonous snake, I would have killed it with a shovel. I love the traps and would highly recommend them. Just be sure to put the box up against a wall, especially if it is in your garage.

I think you really have to find someone who isn't afraid. I'm terrified of snakes and couldn't imagine how to keep them out of the yard, but this little device really works. It really takes care of the problem, but getting rid of the snake requires that someone who isn't afraid remove it (and kill it humanely, if possible). I suppose you could just slide the glue trap out into a garbage bag, but that's a little closer than I'd want to be. If you're really afraid, you'd probably want to find someone else to do it. Hope that helps.

These are about 2" in diameter and about 1/8" thick. I do not know what a standard trap requires but I hope this helps.

From what I can see its just the color of hook. I use mine when my pythons get a bit grumpy. Well made and holds up well-my pythons are Royal Pythons so not too big about 3 pounds. It looks to me it definitely could hold a bigger snake. I also have a shorter one I mostly use as I have limited space at the moment. Good choice

Maybe for short distances - like 5-15 feet I would think. It has an IR light that's not that bright further out. Snakes are awfully small though...

Yes, this works for Rats, according to our previous experience, but we caughtsmall Rats only ( not longer than 4 inches )

It wasn't my intent, but I once caught a 2-foot black garter snake with these glue traps. It wasn't happy. They will do almost anything trying to get away. It probably stumbled into the garage overnight. I took it to the woods and let it go.Hope this helps.

Most likely, though personally I prefer to have a little more distance/reach. A snake can strike 1/2 the distance of it's body, so if you have a larger snake, it can potentially bite you when you are trying to take him out with this tool.

The traps are about 8-10 inches long and 2.5 inches or so in diameter. They work great for me!

I unfortunately :( have caught several lizards with these on my porch. They should be able to handle garter snakes no problem. You will need to dispose of them still though.

I bought this humane trap for catching raccoon which size is less than 20 lbs. the trap can keep a 20 lbs cat inside it depending on how far you bring the cat does, I mean if just keep several hours, it doesn't matter, if keep it inside for a couple of days. it is not good to use this trap. This advice is just for reference, thanks.

I have caught several Garter snakes with just the regular size mouse sticky traps that you buy at Lowes... These will work great.

I tried to use this product to trap the small lizards in Florida, but it did not work for me. Sorry. I do think it should work on a smaller animal like a maggot. Dr. Harold Snyder
