That's a LOT of rodents that snake was eating. A LOT. It's a little hard to believe an average fairly well kept up house could feed a snake that large for that long.
Reading the article, it seems the snake trapper guy believes that finding a recently shed skin is an indication he's been there for "quite some time". Maybe, a week I would guess?
Not years. That snake didn't live there for years, eating large rodents weekly. That's a very healthy looking snake.

The snake may have ventured forth from time to time. I often enjoy eating out myself.
I live in the woods and there are all sorts of vermin that get in the basement. I can drive up the driveway sometimes and see a rodent run across. We have had a Texas rat snake down there for about 4 yrs now. He is a welcome guest. It took almost 2 yrs before we saw him and could identify. Before that, we'd just find a shed skin now and then but always in the same place.
As a teen I had a few pet Boas and occasionally one would get loose and it was usually found in the warmest part of the house or wrapped around the window frame of the room it had been in.
I'd leave him right where he is...not bothering anyone and no rodents
