I think I'm leaning more towards the option of find someone to take it. One option would be a responsible biology teacher at a local school.
Although I don't think releasing it back to the wild would be an all around bad idea, it might be difficult for the snake at first. One thing to consider, where did you catch the snake? A black rat from Louisiana might not be able to handle the conditions that a black rat from New York is exposed to.
Personally, I would exhaust all possible options to keep it in captivity before setting it free.
Oh yes, one other thing, releasing it on a wildlife refuge is illegal. I would recommend not going that route if you plan on releasing it.
