Description
Introducing the new ASIT 1.0 Electronic Snake Trap, a collaborative project between Lumin8 and the African Snakebite Institute. It is the first electronic snake trap in the world.
Tried and tested, these electronic snake traps are extremely useful for snake removal, especially in mines, hostels, barracks, and warehouses.
The trap is made of plastic tubing and features a computerized circuit board with various sensors and mechanical parts. It is baited inside with a chicken egg or frozen mouse, enticing the snake to enter the tube.
The entrance to the trap has a mechanized trap door. It is battery-powered, lasting more than a month on a set of alkaline batteries. The trap also accommodates optional extras such as a GSM modem for cellular communication and an external solar panel or power source. When switched on, the trap immediately resets, shows the battery status, resets the trapdoor to its zero position, and goes into sensor mode.
As the snake enters the trap, its presence is detected by the sensors, and once inside, the trap door closes behind it. If the trapdoor touches any part of the snake’s tail or body, it will immediately reopen and close again, ensuring the snake is not harmed.
The trap remains closed until the snake is retrieved by a qualified snake handler on site.
