Earlier this evening I was walking into the kitchen and spotted what initially appeared to be an earthworm on the floor... Closer inspection revealed it to be a little Sharp-Tailed Snake. I have a hard enough time finding these guys when I'm actually out looking for them, so finding one in the middle of the kitchen floor was pleasantly shocking! Good thing the lights were on, otherwise I probably wouldn't have seen him and he might have gotten trampled by me, someone else, or the dog.

I need some help deciding where to release him... I'm going to be out of town most of tomorrow, so it'll probably happen Monday. What would be a good type of location to release him in? I'm in a open oak woodland, and it just rained a few days ago so there shouldn't really be any moisture issues. What type of cover do they prefer? Would the snake do better released in a grassy area, dense forest, or something in between? This appears to be the long-tailed species, if that changes anything (habitat, diet, temperature range, etc).
