Question
Hi i have had a ribbon snake for about 3 years now and was thinking of letting it go do you think it would survive??

Thanks

Answer
Hello Jason,

No, I would not release a ribbon snake into the wild.  After being captive bred & kept, it may lack some of the hunting skills.  Plus, you don't want to release non-native species to your area.
I would look to adopt him out.
