Doing what you can does not mean it's in the best interest of the animal.
Recent studies have shown (this was a talk at IHS last week), that crotalids tend to stay away from areas where they have had interaction with humans.
Even being moved a short distance, in this case 50 feet was enough. These animals were outfitted with radio transmitters so the data was accurate.
The same can be said for those that were moved outside of their home range which were radio tracked and succumbed.
