    Hi everyone

    I'm new to snakes. My young son and I rescued on out of the school parking lot. I have always had dogs, sometimes cats, the fish I have have been with me for 18 years and my turtle for 31 years. My son wants to keep the tiny snake we found in what I think is a bad place for him to live. The local pet shop said I should release it and buy him a snake. I found it two days ago in northeast pa. Not sure what to do but I have decided I like this snake its small not jumpy if you are slow and not loud. If it faces certain imminent death if I put it back I don't want to do that. I also don't want it to die because I mean well. I'm looking for direction in this and if not this snake I told my son he could have one I buy or he catches in the spring , need direction on that issue too. Thanks, Eloise

    It would be great if we could get a look at the snake to I.D. it. This way we can tailor some advice. Welcome to the forum. I'll link you to the forum care sheet.

    Hi and welcome to the forum. Congrats to your son and you on the rescue. A parking lot is certainly a dangerous location for any snake. There is quite a bit of controversy on keeping wild caught snakes versus captive bred ones. It's the nature of the beast in the hobby/ industry. Good luck with what you decide to do and keep us posted.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.
