Uh, don't let it go since doing so probably violates state laws and definitely could spread diseases to the wild populations. If you want to get rid of it, either rehome it, donate it to a zoo/educational institution, or return it to the store where you bought it; if none of those options are possible, have it euthanized.
 
They aren't to hard to care for... pretty hardy and adaptable.. being wild caught it would probably benefit from a round of wormer.....
What ever you do..... do not release it.... just because it's a native doesn't make it ok
