Bull Snake in Camper Sub-floor. Need removal Suggestions

[thearrower]

Well, picked up the camper at the deer/turkey lease on Sunday to have time to get it prepared for a family outing next week. It rained for a few days and I was still checking it out yesterday. Turned on air conditioner and let it run a couple of hours........came back out and a 5 to 6 foot bull snake was under the camper. I called my wife and she brought me the snake catcher from the garage. However, it saw me just as she was walking up with the catcher. I was able to grab hold of the the last 18 inches of the snake as it was going up the tires. It had too much of a grip by then and I was unable to hold it. It went through the hole where the break wires ran down to the axle. Need suggestions on how to get it out of there.

Fire!

Fire!

Can't argue with that solution......The trouble is that my wife saw where it went also......have not yet convinced her that we need to keep the camper (at this point)

Moth balls should run it out.

Spray Ammonia in the same hole.

Make it real cold in there.

Hook your Exhuast up to it or see if you can take the muffler off a LawnMower engine and see if you can force some exhuast fumes up their..Or maybe a fire extingusher may work too.

I put flour for about 5 feet around the tires where it went in.......in order to see the track if it left at the same spot..... no track yet.... over 24 hours later

Tease him out with a Heifer snake.

You should be able to get to the area he went into. Most trailers have access area's that are walled off from each other and the general living area. Under a seat by table or something like that. If you can see him/her, hit it with the fire extengisher and he won't move for a few minutes due to the cold immobilizing him that's if he comes out of the sub floor.

I have sprayed Raid wasp and hornet in other openings.....I put Peppermint oil on cotton balls and put them at different spots in the camper in the sub flooring and in the storage compartment. I have also been running the air conditioner since this morning. No luck so far.

Glad it is you and not me, my wife would have already burned it to the ground.

sulfur dust but it may stink up the camper for a bit

Good luck, Randall...wish I was there to help.

I have taken the trailor almost totally apart to try to find any hole or area you can get to from the inside. It looks to me like the inside is a totally boxed off area with only the heater and air conditioning vents. I can't find a removable panel anywhere except for the breaker panel. I will look again though....thanks
