Help with caught snake

[ratsnakes1]

Hi, I am not a snake person but felt sorry for this little guy I found while clearing up my lawn earlier. As far as I can tell he is some type of rat snake. Anyway, I caught him in a plastic container and put some holes in the lid. I want to release him in a more wooded area away from homes but it got dark/cold and I would rather do it tomorrow during the day. Will he be fine in this makeshift cage in the meantime? Do I need to do anything else? I just don't want him to die while I'm trying to help him out.

it will be fine, just let it go tomorrow.

He should be fine release him away from roadways and of course make sure its not colder out than when you found him
