    Snake in trouble
    My little brother accidentally stepped on some tape and when he pulled it off there's a tiny snake stuck to it. Its still alive but its really stuck to that tape. We want to get the snake off there with out hurting or killing it. I don't know if adhesive removal stuff would be safe. Can someone help us? Thanks

    If it is the material that is sold to trap snakes, it is just about impossible. I wouldn't know anything to do except call a Vet's office. Maybe they know a remedy. Good luck.

    Call the animal rescue society in your area, just Google it, you'll find the phone number. They'll come and pick up the snake. If anything can be done, they'll know how to do it.

    Good luck.

    Sorry haven't been back on here for a bit, but an update for the snake. He/She is fine. I remembered reading something looong ago about using baby oil to loosen stickness and it did work.

    That's good to hear! I was going to suggest pouring warm water over the tape, because that I how we managed to get a snake that had slithered onto industrial glue when the floors were being redone loose. Kudos for saving him/her! There are a lot of people who would not have helped the poor thing.
