Snakes will stay in an area were there is food. Their favorite is rats and mice. The presence of non-venomous snakes will also discourage venomous snakes from coming into the area. For me I would rather see a snake than rats that carry diseases and can chew the wiring in my home and car.
I have held several snakes, mostly when zoo handlers had snakes for the public to hold. But, that was under a controlled situation. I'm not disagreeing with what you said....bottom line still is: I Hate Snakes!!
