Breeding then releasing?

Well, I don't plan on having them breed, but in the worst case scenario that they do, I'm just wondering about my options. And... Shannon, right? Just a note: my friends family pretty much only moved them about 5 miles from where they are, so I don't think the bacteria there would be much different from before. But yes, I get your point.

but then why move them at all? still a strange place with it's own pop of established individuals! and even within a 5 mile radius, there are different populations of snakes, usually focusing around different bodies of water, and pathogens can differ even within a small distance. you just never, never know... sure, you don't think that there would be much of a difference, and heck, neither do I, but the point is that you, or I, just don't know, so it's best not to take the risk!
