ABSTRACT:
A biodegradable snake trap 10 suitable for deployment from an aircraft is disclosed, comprising a hook 12 with line 14 attached, embedded in an egg 16. The egg 16 is encased in a frozen fluid 20 and disposed within container 18, to protect the egg 16. The snake trap 10 is dropped from an aircraft flying over the area in which the trap is to be deployed. A grapple 24 hooks onto tree limbs to prevent the snake trap from falling to the ground, and descent restrictor 26 slows the rate of descent of the trap. When the frozen fluid 20 melts, the container 18 falls away and exposes the egg 16, attracting snakes. When a snake swallows and crushes the egg 16, the hook 12 lodges in the snake's vital organs and kills the snake.
