He didn't want a yard full of snakes around our neat little suburban home. We used to release them in a field by the big water tank supplying our suburb.
I let grass grow along our fence lines for the wildlife, along with heavily treed areas. It helps support the quail and turkeys around here, along with groundhogs, possums, raccoons, and of course deer.
