Re: Western Yellow-Bellied Racer
Release ASAP as close as is safe to the capture point would be best IMO. You would be suprised at the injuries a snake can survive in the wild if left to their own devices.
That said, it's den place has been destroyed and relocation studies on Rattle Snakes have demonstrated that the primary killer of 95% of relocated Rattlers is the inability to find a place for the winter in their new location.
If you keep it till the injuries heal then you need to keep it period.
