I’ve lived in my current home for 31 years because I like it here but if I ever find a snake in my house I will move.

When I lived in Louisiana, my property backed up against a sugar cane field. Mice would frolic in the sugar cane all summer long until one day in the autumn the farmers would harvest the cane and instantaneously the 8-10' canopy the mice enjoyed was reduces to stubble. Three things rapidly ensued as sure as the sun rises in the east:

1. Raptors would fill the air patrolling the cane field for easy pickings from the rodent buffet.

2. Mice robbed of their cover and concealment would make a bee line for them nearest buildings trying to evade the hawks and falcons.

3. Snakes would follow their food into the houses.

Only once saw a venomous snake (pygmy rattler) in my house, but no shortage of king and rat snakes, probably 1-2 x year on average. Having a doggy door probably didn't help.
