I've never found a snake in the house, and hope never to do so. That being said, snakes that are non-venomous rarely ever get killed around here. The majority of them are territorial, and will actually keep the poisonous ones away, along with controlling the rat/mouse population. Personally I'd much rather have something like a small black snake in, or hanging around the house, than for the house to be over run with mice, or worse step out the door and find a copperhead lying there on my porch.
Years back I actually witnessed a black snake killing and eating a copperhead that had ventured into it's territory...which happened to be where my wood pile was at the time. Unfortunately I killed both as the way they were lying all I saw was the copperhead, that is until after I had fired the shot and was able to get closer to dispose of the body. The black snake had coiled around the copper head, crushed it, and was in the process of eating it head first.
I know sometimes we must succumb to the pressures from the females to do as they ask, but this is one of those times when the snake would have simply been relocated to another site that was both out of site, and out of mind, if he'd been in my yard.....
