To take it back & release it (ANYwhere close to where we found it) would be to take it back & release it near houses full of people. People who would take a shovel to it in a heartbeat.
I'm much happier knowing it's going to be released into the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area where it will never have a run in with humans or vehicles again.
We also do not take snakes out of the wild for collecting anymore. We have a mating pair of kingsnakes that continue to give us clutches of babies every year. Six last year & eight this year. All 14 snakes have been released back out in the boonies as far from people as we could possibly get them, sometimes traveling to salt marsh islands to do so.
My thought is the farther away from people the snakes are, the better the chance that they'll survive. Any snake.
Again, thank you.
