Why not just make yourself a snake catcher,

Use about 2 meters of 25mm electrical conduit or water pipe

Get about 5 meters of that plastic strapping they use to strap stuff to paletts.

Thread through the conduit so you have a loop on one end and the other two ends in your hand.

Put loop over snakes head and pull gently (dont want to take his head off)

Then re-locate him.

He's gone - must have slithered down a drain hole, which is probably where he came in. That's my excitement for the day...

Good way to get bitten, better to leave them alone and they will go away

The number I was given when I had a large snake in my backyard in Patong was 1669.

Didn't use it at the time.

Unfortunately sometimes the snake wins, once lost a beloved bulldog that way.

Actually most snakes are poisonous here and no one should ever try to pick one up
