Sorry for the shitty picture, but this is all I have.

Found in a central/southern OH basement.

My guess is corn snake. Good for keeping mice down.

It looks to be a milk snake. Could be a corn snake but I need a better pic to decide.

I would rather have him than what he is eating.

Well, I don't see a zipper or denim so we can rule out trouser snake.

Leave him alone... He will keep the mouse population in check.

yep, he's in there after rodents.

catch him and take him outside then seal any openings in the house foundation with foam.

That's not a snake. It's an opossum.

Looks like a red tailed boa. Maybe someone's pet that got loose or was set free?

Romex viper. Shockingly venomous. Fast as lightning. Like to be scratched behind the ears.
