using a minnow trap for snakes

I'll just stick with Zippy for now. I hear wild caughts are not as friendly. Not saying they're bad. I'm sure they have their reasons.

Dont be so sure. My WC T.e.vagrans are much more docile that my CB Radix

I agree, it depends entirely on the personality of the snake its self.

Actually I have used minnow traps and caught lots of garters. I used to live across the street from a large field full of snakes, so I would put the traps in the ditch down in the weeds as far down as I could get and checked it once a day. Sure enough a couple times a week I would find a snake. The most at once was 5, they looked to be only about 2-3 months old. This was years ago, but hey I think it will still work!!

What did you use for bait?

muahahaha! i knew my theory wasn't completely stupid lol. I'll try it! There is a wood area in the back of my house and I just know it would be perfect for garters. I'll use nightcrawlers as bait by cutting some up and putting in the back of bottle.

My snakes are all wild caught and they are the sweetest little garters you'll find anywhere :P Mama helps me post on the forum almost every day!

Word!

I have a few W/C snakes that are as calm and "friendly" as a puppy
and a few CBB snakes that will attack hands on sight.

The only snakes in my collection that ever draw blood are the CBB.

I didn't use any bait. Just the curious always moving garters would go in one of the "funnel" ends and not find thier way out.
