Sure, I found two Prairie Ret Snakes in my house this year .  They were small and got caught on a sticky board .  I put sand allover the sticky board and both wiggled free and went on their way outside . A man in the next county over got bit by a little copperhead in his shoe .  He thought it was a sock and when he reached in to retrieve his sock the snake bit him on the hand .  He was treated for snake bite and is fine now .This is Texas . 

Answer 2

Yes they can and Florida Georgia go hand in hand.

Answer 3

Way down south?  Not typically.  the gators tend to eat them fiest.

Answer 4

Many states have snakes. 

Common to see them in parts of Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Arizona.  

I have friends who have seen many snacks on their driveway and garage. They advise visitors to stop and look before getting out of the car or house,

Answer 5

If you leave something open, there is a chance they may enter.  No overly common.  Even less common is for them to end up in the pipes.  It has happened from time to time though.

This isn't a 'southern' states thing.  This is anywhere there are snakes.
