strips of masking tape. Put many strips of approx. 3' or 4' pieces on the wall, sticky side out, with bottoms barely brushing the floor. Once the snake brushes against one of them, it will come off the wall, and the snake will get stuck, only able to move in a circle. Same principle as the duct tape, but much easier to get off - a little veg oil works great to remove it. You still need to check often as it must be uncomfortable for the snake, but should not risk his safety.

I heard that tip several years ago from Don Soderberg.
