What (rodent?) did this???

Hello,

Recently I found something odd had happened to
the anttraps in my finished basement. The traps
were under the hot water radiator pipes.


You can see some pictures I took here:

- as I found them

- One corner was chewed out on each of the traps

- there were lots of pieces of plastic remaining.
- note the size and round shape.


I thought this was really odd. What would be going for
an ant trap? What would chew out the corners, and leave
pieces the shape of crescent moons? A snake?


Any ideas??
