It's actually a good snake to have on your property, but Bev was afraid it would get run over by the lawn mower if she tried to release it at home. Here's a picture right before we released it, but I'm putting it in spoiler tags to protect KK.  It was a gorgeous little snake.

I've heard of farmers (even met one) who put them in the hen-house to protect their investment. As she told me, they'll occasionally eat an egg, but the rodent control service they provide more than makes up for it.
