second chance babies:D

Shanley, I would release ech of the older one where they were found and the babies near the creek or pond, which ever has the most cover for them to hide in.

2 of the adults were caught in the field.... but it has been completely mown.... and so there is MUCH less cover now.....
the other three adults were caught up bu/in my yard and we have some crazy neighbors who mow their lawns every stinking day....... i wouldn't feel comfortable releasing them that close to lawns, roads ect....... the creak and the pond are both full of water year round and have about the same amount of coverage...... which is better flowing water or still water??? there is about 1/4 a mile between the pond and the creek.......

gosh, Shanley
temps sure have dropped all of a sudden (here too)
I'm a bit worried about your babies going out there
especially since they've never had to hunt for themselves and pickings are probably getting slim out there
I'm not sure what to tell you though

i'm leaving school early today, it's really warm today and shouldn't drop too much tonight so they'll go then.

Hope it all works out Shanley. I feel kinda bad- I didnt even know about the passing of the last babies- had to search the old posts to find out. Guess that happens when you dont read every new post

lol it's ok

it went great!!! it was kind of sad bc i had had them for a while... esp. big mama, but it was too much and they didn't like being enclosed.... it was time.

i released all of them in the pond/wetland area, i felt it was the best place to do it, perfect environment with ample food, i have pics but need to go to swim practice and don't have time to post them.....

and to top it all off i saw 2 new snakes on my way back up with the cages it was a truely perfect day for release

Aww, that's great. Here's hoping they'll all do well in their new home

Yep me too, hope they thrive
