that is what I think too. after all its a box rather than just a flat piece of cardboard so you don't even have to see the snake when you throw it out. I don't on average people who use glue traps release the critters.

I had a number of live-catch mouse traps back in the early 80's. they were a sort that tilted and closed when a mouse etc walked in. solid plastic with air holes. I had to check those things every few hours because if a mouse was in one it would not survive very long. They did work, I ended up with a tank full of field mice. (winter time, and although I may not want them in my cupboards- but I'm not tossing them outside in 3 foot snow) It was worth the effort to me, but I remember thinking "I wonder how many of these cheap live catch self closing, hard to open boxes are sold to people who just throw the whole thing away?"

I don't care if its trapped in a tiny box or in a square tube of glue, I think the whole out of sight thing is for people who don't even want to look at them when its time to throw the whole thing out.
