It's become an annual conservation event in central Louisiana: Young Louisiana pine snakes that were bred in captivity are released in Kisatchie National Forest in central Louisiana.
MEMPHIS - OCTOBER 02: Memphis Zoo signage at the Memphis Zoo in Memphis, Tennessee on October 2, 2016. They were born and raised in captivity, but as they slowly slithered away from their handlers and disappeared into gopher holes in the Kisatchie National Forest, the group of Louisiana pine snakes appeared to be right at home.
"We provide the snakes in our snake factories, which are funded by the U.S. Forest Service, into habitat that the Fish and Wildlife Service and Forest Service have developed," said Steve Reichling, the Memphis Zoo's Director of Conservation and Research. "It’s just a perfect marriage, really." "Unlike some of the other snakes that are here that can survive in different habitats, Louisiana pines, they cannot," Reichling said as the snakes were being released.
