I am no expert at all....but I know that one needs to have a way to keep them cleaned out. As to the snakes, there are different types of predator protectors one can put around the pole.
I'm wondering if once you see the nesting taking place if you could just put some lithium grease around the bottom of the pole then "puff" some boric acid powder on the grease to have it stick, as snakes hate boric acid on their bellies I'm told.
Sounds like I need to learn a bit more about this stuff......
