We don't care if there are animals of any sort in our yard, but for
the neighbor who is freaked out by snakes or any other living thing,
we've caught it and put it down by the creek. Water is vitally
important as food is close by if there is water.

What's amusing is that there are supposedly large fines in NJ for
relocating wild animals yet the police recommended that we just let it
go beside a river. One person at Animal Control suggested that we take
it to Mount something or another and let it go. Finally after much
calling and complaining they sent someone to dispose of it.

I asked the person who came for it what he was going to do with it and
he replied that standard procedure was to take it somewhere (probably
Mt. something or another) and just let it go, which he did free of
charge and brought back the trap.
