I work on a farm on the sea islands of south carolina

today i came across a full grown and beautifull eastern diamondback. I was able to capture so as to remove it from the farm. but now what to do with it?

 

Be very careful with the snake, and have someone with you/near you in case an emergency does happen.

If it were me personally, I would take the animal to a very unpopulated location to be released - again, I stress be very careful. Take it somewhere where it will not likely come into contact with humans again.

You could call the fish and game or animal control and see what they would do with it. If they would kill it, I'd release it on my own. Obviously this is your decision as your safety is at risk, so the choice is entirely up to you.

 

You caught a wild rattlesnake??

You sir, are more of a man than I.
