I had seen something like a minnow trap for snakes. I just gave mine to my boss after he found baby Copperheads in his house. I have not seen them commercially available for many years though. Basically it looks like two mini plastic cones like the kind used for sports or roadside construction. The points of the two cones insert into opposite sides of a 4" PVC pipe. The pipe with cones stuck into either side is placed on the floor butted up to the wall running parallel to the wall. The snake follows the edge of the wall, crawls through the cone and into the PVC pipe. Once inside the PVC pipe, it can't find it's way back out through the little hole at the top of the cone. I have used this trap with some success. You may be able to fashion something similar if you are handy. Best of luck.
