Hey two snakes ended up in my rat glue trap
I was thinking they were just garter snakes, anything to be worried about?
Was worried it might be some kind of infestation

Nah, Just garter snakes. Not an "infestation" either; They just tend to hang out in pairs this time of year.

OP here
There was a third garter snake in the bathroom. Pretty sure they couldn't have made it back, I did take the pair pretty far away. Wonder if it's mating season or something and they like my house

Probably a food source in your house, since you have rat traps.
How did you "save" that animal with it's stomach torn open? Why are you using glue traps?
You're fucked m8. I'd move if I were you.

Its stomach wasn't torn open, it had just shit itself

>glue traps
why
What benefit do you gain from a glue trap instead of a trap that kills instantly or a live trap?

And to elaborate a little more
I've never had success with live catch traps inside of my house. Outside my home they've worked but never inside. Could be bad luck but whenever I have mice I use glue traps
I check them pretty often, and from my personal experience the mice are never visibly injured. I just relocate them as soon as possible and set them free
The only thing I've had them kill are random insects and spiders that stumble into them
Dude if you have problems with rats and mice just buy a cat and feed it rarely. It was literally created for that exact purpose.
How do you set things free from glue traps?

I've been using non stick cooking spray or vegetable oil
Basically I apply it under whatever is stuck and it can free itself after a little bit of wiggling around
Of course I don't think the trap works really well afterwards, but I have loads of the things so that isn't really a problem
