My cb yearling bull got out this summer and was found under the pool ladder platform looking quite lost! LOL!

On the other hand, my wc Cali king escaped and has not been seen since. I think he has done well, being as this is his native territory. I released three wc Pacific gopher snakes at my friends' property which was severely infested with gophers, but in a fenced yard with few predators and no roads to wander onto. I think if the animals are wc already and are released in a safe place, they will soon make themselves at home. Captive bred used to a steady diet of domestic rodents handed to them by a nurturing human; those would surely be babes in the woods.



An example of a babe in the woods. She got out this summer and went no further than the front steps, where she holed up in the ivy growing there. Although a native species to my area, she is cb and didn't seem to have a clue as to what to do next. I believe there is more than instinct guiding these animals. They have to learn things, too. In a cage all they learn is someone will feed them.
