My OCD would never recover from an experience like that...I'd be seeing or hearing snakes in every nook and cranny of the house forever after. Snakes serve a purpose, for sure, but I'm not quite sure why they need to be venomous in order to fulfill that purpose. Non-venomous snakes are welcome here; venomous types, however, need not apply.

How awful for you and Mom and pups. RIP little pup, and so hope that everyone else makes it.

Being absolutely terrified of snakes and not really knowing much about them [read as totally ignorant] can you tell me what purpose they serve please?
@Birgit ... What a traumatic thing to happen, my thoughts and prayers are with Brenda and the two pups. RIP little boy pup

Well, the primary role of snakes in the US is as a predator of small rodents, insects, the eggs of reptiles or birds, and small or immature mammals--they are part of the delicate balance nature tries to maintain between the various species living on this planet. Snakes of the nonvenomous type are a great help in agriculture, helping to keep rat populations in check in graineries, for example.
They don't scare me as long as I know that they aren't venomous; they are amazingly soft to the touch, and while cooler than our own body temperature, they're by no means cold, nor are they clammy-feeling or slimy. It is pretty cool to be able to feel their muscles expand and contract in order to propel themselves from one place to another...
