Hibernation

I'm a boid collector, so I really know nothing about hibernation of colubrids. I was out to dinner with a bunch of people the other night and one of the people knew I was a snake collector. She told me she caught a milk snake outside of the Chicagoland area. She has had it in a terrarium since August feeding it crickets. She wants to let it go in the Spring. First of all, they are rodent eaters, right? Secondly, will it hurt the snake if it does not hibernate this winter? Can you let it go this Spring after being held captive? Will it hibernate again next Winter? Do I have to adopt this snake from her? Thanks for your help in advance!!!
