As for the likelihood of finding another snake in the shed, it's pretty common in areas with lots of snakes like florida, sometimes it just depends on how secure the structure is.

When I lived in the south, sometimes I would go an entire year without seeing any snakes near my house(though plenty on nearby hiking trails), and other years I'd be fishing snakes out of the pool every few days. It just seems pretty random to me, likely but not predictable to find another snake
How old would you guess this snake is? It's shown in the bottom of a 5 gal. bucket in two of the pics and the belly shot is shown in a 10gal tank. I would say that it's head is less than 1/2" wide and it's maybe just over 12" long which is purely a guess.

I think I'll wait until tomorrow to release it since it's already dark and I don't have a flashlight that works...thanks to the power going out last night and having to finish my gifts by flashlight.
