My dad used to pick these up in the road at night.....live ones by the tail.
I don't suggest that.

A Wildlife Specialist would recommend either:

A. Releasing it to roam at night eating pests and whatnot.

B. Cover it in the morning if its not sleeping right now.
They're usually nocturnal if memory serves me.
Just cover it with a tarp or blanket and put it in the trunk, or back of the pick up.
Drive it way out to a forest area where there are fewest roads and open. It won't hurt anyone.
Drive away and return in an hour to get your empty cage .
Simple as that.
