I will be most interested in your results. Snakes use their sense of smell to navigate their world, as their eyesight is not very strong and they of course have no ears, so must feel vibrations through their bodies.

I inadvertently did a rather unkind thing to my mice once; I had a large quantity of barely used aspen bedding from changing the bedding in my snake cages, so I recycled it through the mouse tubs. The mice were a little put off by that at first but after a thorough search realized there was no snake lurking in their bedding.
