Nice looking snake. I would caution that you may want to check with Maine DNR or F&W on whether or not they consider reptiles as small game, in which case a small game hunting license would be required. they aren't a protected species so there's not problem there, but you aren't allowed to sell or trade it to anyone since it's WC. I had a "learning experience" with this when I posted about a gopher snake I caught and was going to keep once, Fish and game officials are not above lurking on forums.
