For the final addition, there's a tale with this one. Wednesday, I got a call from someone at work that translated to "COME TO MY OFFICE NOW!" As my job had no overlap with this person, that left the person's knowledge that I work with snakes as an overlap.
When I arrived, there was a glue trap on their desk (I really, REALLY, hate glue traps), with a baby black ratsnake on it. Poor thing looked just like it had been stepped on, so stretched out was it. Since it was still alive, I got it off of the trap with good old fashion olive oil. I don't have pictures of it in this state, as my main focus and concern at that time was getting it off the trap alive as fast as possible.
Needless to say, it was very skinny, being both dehydrated and starved (which probably helped keep it intact on the trap). I'm working now to get it back to health, and will probably keep it.
