Yes and no.

I would rather have the occasional snake than rats/mice. But at the same time, if the alternative was rats/mice or a den of 10 or 20 4'-6' western diamondback rattlesnakes living under my house, then I'd take the rats/mice and would deal with them another way.

Fortunately, we also have a fair number of red shouldered and red tailed hawks, crested cara caras, skunks, opossums, foxes, coyotes, and deer. I think there's a couple/few of those that prey on snakes.
