Three other things you can try as well. If you don't mind a bunch of powder dust, if you have hard floors in the immediate area, you can sprinkle fine baking flour all around the perimeter along the baseboards to see the small crawling tracks it leaves when on the move.



Another is to get the sticky rodent traps and set a few along the edges of things around walls, etc...These traps are EXTREMELY sticky, and it will stick the snake to it BIG-TIME, but just ooze some vegetable oil, or mineral oil on it and the trap to loosen it, and gently pull and massage the oil where it sticks to the snake. Then just put some fine dust all over any remaining on the snake, and it will shed it off completely when it sheds next.



Another is sort of like another that was suggested. Cut around the top part of a plastic 2 litre coke/pepsi container where it flairs out and becomes wider towards the top, then flip it around and push it back together, and tape it if needed. Now you have something resembling a big funnel for the snake to crawl into if you put a fuzzy inside. This makes it very easy for the snake to get funneled into it because of the wide part becoming much narrower. Then they have a very difficult time getting back out, sort of like a crab or lobster trap.





good luck!, ~Doug
