I have watersnake on the brain thanks to some beautiful pics shared on here. Well, that led to some research on funnel traps and visions of beautiful red bellied, banded... you get the idea. Has anyone ever caught one using a baited funnel trap? I'm cautious and eager to hear some feedback. I live in Alabama and i'm not wishing to catch a moccasin..I have seen red bellieds where i'd like to set this trap.
Next question...is CB a likely option? I'd rather have a captive bred for all the same reasons anyone else chooses captive...parasites, population impact, and I have never attempted to keep a wild caught snake, although I have handled many and find them to be gentle once they figure out i'm not causing them physical pain or attempting to make a meal of them.
