I detest snakes. Both the good and the bad ones. In the end, they almost all den together in the same dens. I kill any and every snake I find and I have lived with enough rattlers to probably give each and every one of you in this forum a couple of snakes apiece. Literally. We're talking snakes as fat as your ankle . I lived on property where you could hear 10-20 snakes rattling away in the adjacent grass as you drove up to the front gate at night for most months out of the year. I have opened doors to be greeted with a coiled up rattler outside the door enough times that you think about them each and every time you open your doors. I always slept with my room door closed and a solid object blocking the bottom crack of the door. This was just in case one of the critters made it into the house. And yes, I killed a couple of snakes in the house. Fortunately not rattlers. As, I said, they all den together.
They stink and absolutely suck and they're everywhere if your property has a bad infestation like mine did. Once that Rubicon is crossed, you cannot get rid of them and your only option is to live with them. Needless to say, I left that property after 3 years and I'm probably still alive today because I did.
