I released him back where I found him only to later learn that they were not known to live where I caught him. There was a guy who used to be active at kingsnake who was doing a study on sharp-tailed snakes. He was very surprised at my finding and would have liked to have examined it. I had taken some pictures of the little guy, but that didn't really help with his research. Still was a nice encounter with a truly pleasant snake.
Where exactly did you find your Sharp-tail? Yes, they are pretty mellow. When "Sharpie" is on the prowl, he'll (I really don't know its sex) follow my finger throught the glass. I have even fed this tiny snake a discharged Batrachoseps (slender salamander) tail in my hand. Amazing for such a small animal!
