I admire your passion.

Some snake species adhere to a "home turf", others are more nomadic. For example, sidewinders are more nomadic compared to, say, a Timber rattlesnake.

I have no idea if racers are nomadic or not. Seems they might be, which means any suitable habitat is fine. But, it is always best to release where it was caught. That snake has found a way to survive where it was, so it may actually know that territory better than any other plot of land, no matter how suitable. It was apparently able to avoid predators where it was.
