One way you can get rid of that chicken snake is the same way we used to get rid of them in the chickenhouse is to get some porcellan eggs and set them in there. When it swallows them, it cant squeeze them and break them and it winds up killing it. Just a thought but better check the camper because if it does that you may find not only a snake but a VERY stinky one. Also one way I have heard to get rid of your mice in the trailer, if you dont want to use poison, is to get a bowl of dry mashed potatoe flakes and put them next to a bowl of water. The mouse will fill up on the flakes and then drink the water. The flakes expand and it dies. Either way if you dont keep a watch you will wind up with a stinky camper.

Don't know if this works or not, but my GrandPa told me about it :

You put a bowl of food out for the mice, just after dark ... with some quickcrete powder mixed in. Mouse eats food/crete ... bowels lock up ... mouse goes "outside" and dies (not wanting to die in its "home"). I don't remember "exactly" what "food" was suggested ... but, I'm thinking it was cooked oatmeal

Hey guys,

Go to youtube and look for 'Bill Dance snake' . Two nice videos of Bill playing with snakes. The one that drops down around his neck is great.

Snakes and Boats are just not compatible. Many years ago, in my early teen years, my Dad and I commercial fished (trout lines or trot lines in our western Kentucky vernacular). One morning about day break I was running the Boat into the bank where we had a line tied off on some bushes with low hanging tree limbs hanging out over the river. Well, I shut the motor down a little late, looked up and here came my Dad running to the back of the boat, screaming like the devil himself was close on his trail. I got him stopped before jumped in the river right on top of the line full of hooks. He said SNAAAAAKE, SNAAAAKE, Now all this happened in the days before trolling motors, so there was a sculling paddle and oars in the boat. I grabbed a paddle and went forward to try to throw the snake out of the boat, when I got the snake balanced on the paddle, my dad being a past Rattlesnake bite victim really lost it. He grabbed a oar and started beating at the snake, but beating me to a pulp, I accidentally threw the paddle snake and all straight up into the air. Now where in the world would that snake land, of course nowhere but right around my neck. Now Dad began beating and beating that snake, the problem was he was around my neck and I was taking the beating of my life. The snake had to go and the beating had to stop, the next thing I knew I had dove in that river and being swept away by the current. Before Dad would come to the rescue all he would say is Have you got rid of the snake? We had many laughs about this right up to his early death at 48 years of age, and it has become a memory that makes me laugh and cry at the same time. I would wear ten snakes around my neck for week, just for one more early morning on the river with my best friend, MY DAD!

Thats a good story. I feel the same about snakes.

I realize this is a little old for the original problem of a snake in a camper, but I work outdoors and have a surefire way to fix that problem. If there is a snake in a confined area, you can spray cinnamon Glade air freshener into the camper, and spay quite a bit, the snakes cant stand the cinnamon oil in the spray and will soon leave. Just a tip in case anyone else has these problems.
