Not fine. Snakes, if not poisonous and biting your pets, are very good. Simply relocate the snake a couple of miles away in a rural location. We never begrudge the snakes a few eggs because they keep the rat/mice population down!
We used plastic eggs to entice hens to lay in the right place, but they kept getting kicked out of the nest. Filled the eggs with plaster to add weight. Rat snake ate egg. We caught it and contained it, and waited for it to regurgitate the egg. After days, it didn't and got more lethargic and likely on the edge of death. A hard way to watch a good snake die. As a last resort, we ended up putting the snake in a chicken wire cage that we kept around, and took it out back in a place where it wouldn't be bothered. A few hours later, we came back to just the egg in the cage. The snake had regurgitated the egg, escaped the chicken wire cage through the wire (you know chicken wire doesn't keep out snakes, right?) and in my mind, lived happily ever after.
