No way. Ilive in a house subdivison but theres a big feild right acroos the street from me that has snakes in it (I've never seen any but I have found skin.) If I found one in my yard that wasn't venomous I would handle it. not what kind of snake it is, nand just let it go. Howver, if I found a venomous snake, say a Rattlesnake, copper head, coral snake, etc I would grab the snake hook or tongs and put it in a secure container. Then I would bring it deep into the feild by my house (because it would have had to come from there) and let it go.
