I will tell you how its done, but you should be very very careful doing this because just when you think its a tiny harmless garden snake you could be very wrong! I don't know exactly how long you are talking about, but you need to find some sort of stick, maybe handle of a duster or something of that sort. It should be the appropriate length so that if you were to grab the snake by the tip of its tail with one hand (non-dominant) you could support the snake (again depending on the length, you dont want it right behind its head but a little farther down the back)as far away from your body as possible while you carry it out. If the snake ever wiggles off of the end of the stick thats okay, just dont drop its tail because you will have to go through catching it again. Hope that helps! Just think Steve Erwin while your doing it!
