the cellar/the food and a snake or 2! AGHHHHHHHH

Yes you read right! We cleaned the cellar up, took in some shelfs, filled the cellar with water, figured out why the sump pump had not worked, pumped the water out and its now drying nicely! So yesterday I go down, we were moving all the shelfs onto bricks so they wont be sitting in water and get ruined, also so the water can get through to the pump easier. I walk down the stairs and look over, snake skin! new SNAKE SKIN. i CALMLY TURN GO UPSTAIRS AND FREAK OUT! Back down again. This time I make kids go with to help, and we get through putting 2 shelfs on bricks, no live snakes! Whew! I start doing stuff to the one shelf, with Nanna and Boo are lifting the other 2 shelfs onto bricks, they move one shelf and another SNAKE SKIN!! ok so I have 2 NEW snake skins, no clue where the snakes are other than somewhere in my basement! WAAAAAAAAAAAA I hate snakes, they are horrid, I hate them. I would rather bugs,spiders and mice! So I continue putting food on shelfs. I have moved most of the cans/jars down stairs. I dont want any boxed,bagged or anything like that in the basement. It iopened up a lot of room upstairs getting all the food downstairs. I have a fan going to dry it out soon. It would not be as wet as it is but the sump pump did not turn on when the water first came in and I did not know till it was pretty deep. I have that fixed and it does not get out of the hole it sits in now.
I never found the snakes. I know the skins are new, the one was not there on Tuesday when I was down there. So anyone know how to get rid of them? I am trying real hard not to freak over snakes in my house! But it wont take much for me to freak out
heres some pics!
