I have a Northern Brown Snake that I need to give away before I leave for college in August. She is very friendly, likes to be held and is generally very calm. She is not difficult to care for. I currently keep her in a 10 gallon tank because she likes to do a lot of exploring, digging and climbing. She likes to eat European Night crawlers and slugs and rarely refuses food. Would prefer to give her to someone close to the D.C metro area. Shes free to a good home.

She was wild caught about a year ago, though you wouldn't be able to tell because she is so calm and unafraid and easygoing.
 
I would suggest that the best recourse may be to just release the snake wherever it was found. Assuming the area is still there, of course. Most people are not going to have a ready and steady supply of what you have been feeding it at their disposal.

Unfortunately, I can't. After two years living in captivity, Toph has become too conditioned to living with people to be safely released and second chance rescue (center for rehabilitation/ release) won't accept animals who have been in captivity for more than two weeks, probably for this reason. Besides it isn't hard at all to find earthworms. If you can't find them around your house after a rain or you can't find them by digging in the ground, they are pretty easy and inexpensive to buy online ($23-28 for 600 worms).

Slugs are also relatively easy to find in her size, but harder to find online. Nassarius snails are easy and inexpensive to buy online (25 dollars for 50 on reefs2go.com.)
 
You may want to check local elementary and jr high schools. Many teachers will accept small snakes as classroom mascots. Especially jr high science rooms.
