The back yard is almost 3/4 acre and the shed is about 75 yards from the house. She's OK with the snakes as long as they're outside. Either way I think she'd rather have them than mice or rats. The snake I last put down there was a little over two feet long and hungry. I interrupted it catching a meal (a frog).

Was hoping that would be extra incentive for it to immediately go after the mice.
My last Victor trap was the best "snap trap" I had. It was never empty and unsprung. It's "tomcat" traps that aren't sensitive enough. I'll give the Q-tip thing a try.
