Hello and welcome to the forums.

I'm sorry to tell you that it would be best if you let it go. It will most likely die if you keep it.

It is Apostolepis dimidiata/lineata

Lucky find, take some good photos before you release it, these snakes are seldom seen. We'd love to see more.

If you're looking for a pet snake, it would be best to find a different species. We would be glad to help you choose!

Yeah, small species like that tend to stress easily and are difficult to establish in captivity. I agree with Pareeeee; take loads of pictures and then let him go If you've already got a nice enclosure set up for him, maybe you can take some pictures of that too and we can help you find a more suitable species to keep as a pet that would do well in the enclosure.

Let it back into the wild. The little guy will probably die in your home.
