Yes, we had a black snake climb up the drainpipe and was inching out on the brick toward a bird's nest that was on the front porch. It was over 4 feet long. It was an amazing sight. Not as amazing as my uncle bringing a rifle to help my Mom get it off the side of the house...what was he thinking? He probably would have killed us all from the shrapnel...lol.

That didn't stop the snake, worked his way right thru and was in my enclosed sunroom. Needless to say, he had the room to himself, til I got a neighbor to get him out!

Scared us to death!!! Another time a lady I worked with went to lunch and as she was driving a snake feel on her windshield of her car. Yes, snakes can climb.
