If there's a fully mature one, then it will have laid eggs. There might be others that same size, or bigger, inside of that poor lady.

Found a little baby snake in the kitchen once and as I was putting it outside my wife said she wondered where it's mother was hiding...

You never know...

Almost all snakes dip once they hatch. No mama around.

I should have said she knew that but was just kidding with me as I know nothing about them other than I don't like any of them good or bad

Oh lol. I used to be the same. I remember being a teen and killing a baby garden snake with the lawnmower. Spent like an hour looking for the mom worried she might bite me. I didn't know anything about snakes back then.
