They're harmless and nothing else will live under the house :o) If other snakes come around just spread sulfur, mothballs, or use SnakeAway. :o) The only varmint I had problems getting rid of was a possum. I had to use shakeaway which smells like fox to get the possum to leave. Supposedly vinegar and peppermint oil works but not on my possum it didn't!
I've heard (now when it's about late) that fox urine extract will repel any critters, except maybe foxes. Since the only foxes we have here have version numbers and service packs, that'd probably work.
We don't have crawlspace under the house - it's a townhouse on a slab - but the walls themselves are a crawlspace, for anything small enough.
