How to catch snakes

While I was at Rockridge Canyon, me and my friend Leni (Pronounced: Lay-nee) caught snakes during our free time.
 We caught snakes by the lake near and near the bridge because the snakes liked to hang out there. Here are some places we found snakes: 

• On the other side of the bridge in the slime, 
• under rocks, in the water, 
• swimming around, and 
• weaving through the rocks. 

This is the way I and Leni tried to catch snakes before we came to Rockridge :   

1. Look for a snake. 
2. Try to catch the snake by putting a bucket over it (That didn't work).
3.  If you manage to catch the snake,  try to scoop it up to get the snake in the bucket. 
4. If you are very brave, pick up the snake.

Now that we met an expert, we catch a snake like this: 

1. Find a snake in the rocks, in the water, on the rock line, etc. ... 
2. Follow the snake (If need). 
3. Catch the snake with your hands. make hand adjustments  if needed (One hand on the body, one hand gust before the head. Tight, but not squeezing, lose, but not enough to get out.)
4. Put the snake in the "habitat bucket" (One habitat bucket has water, rocks and seaweed, the other, grass and rocks.)
5.  Look for more snakes.

When we caught two snakes, one of them would go in the water bucket, the other in the land bucket. Every few minutes, we would put the snake in the other bucket (water, to no water, land to no land.). 
Caution do not put the snakes together! They might fight!!!
