Beautiful snake! I caught a big one at my uncle's cabin a few years ago. At first I was VERY cautious, so cautious that I thought the poor snake probably couldn't breathe. I relaxed my grip on its neck somewhat and noticed that he wasn't struggling. I eventually let go completely and let him crawl freely on my arm. Just as calm as could be. I let him go in some nearby woods. I often wish that I had kept him, which may in part explain why I still have the one I got at the grocery store!!!
