Are there venomous snakes in Europe?
Yes. I know of two venomous snakes in Europe--the European adder and the long-nosed viper.
How long do venomous snakes live?
25 years
Do all snake bite?
Yes, all snakes can bite. Although very few are actually venomous, a non-venomous snakebite can cause a bacterial infection, however, these are rarely serious as long as the wound is kept clean. Some species of snake are more inclined to bite than others. For example, the ring-necked snake is a small and slightly venomous species which I have found to be extremely docile, but the bull snake on the other hand is extremely aggressive and almost never tame. Garter snakes may be aggressive at first, but they tame very easily and quickly. Just like a dog, each snake has an individual character and there may be aggressive and docile specimens of any species.
Can snake breathe under water?
Yes, they can bite you underwater; but they aren't very good at doing so. They are slow at it.
When will you die if you eat a poisonous snake?
No, as long as you only eat its flesh (muscle).
Does a poisonous snake die if it bites itself?
It depends on the snakes. Many snakes are immune to the venomous snakes that live in the same geographic areas. Most snakes, if not all, are immune to their own venom, but this is an evolutionary process produced over the past 100 million years. If two snakes of the same species bit each other, there would most likely be no effect from the venom. If two snakes of different species, from different parts of the world bit each other, it is very likely that both snakes would experience a strong reaction to the other's venom. Biting a venomous snake is not harmful as long as the stored venom is avoided. Even then, venom is not dangerous if swallowed, but is very dangerous if it enters an open wound on the biter's skin or mouth. Many birds, snakes and other animals kill and eat venomous snakes. Some have varying degrees of immunity and some are just careful. The pig is believed to get its immunity to snake bite from its thick layer of fat. For more information see the Related Link below.
Do sea snakes get eaten?
Certainly ! The venom (as in all venomous snakes) - is located with glands in the head. So long as a predator doesn't eat that part - they're safe.

Daddy long legs are extremely venomous, but because their fangs are to small, they cannot harm humans, and are therefore harmless :)
What happens if you wait to long to get a snake bite checked?

How long will it take for a snake to grow its fangs?
Whether a snake has fangs does not depend on age; it depends on species. Venomous snakes hatch or are born with their fangs. Nonvenomous snakes have teeth, but not fangs.
What is the difference between a python and viper snake?
Grass snakes are not venomous but they still do bite, they can have bacteria in their mouths which can cause infections. While pythons are long and muscular using their strength to squeeze the life out of there prey and devour them whole.
Is a hognose snake harmless?
I actually own one myself and found out through a herpitologist friend of mine that these snakes actually do have venom glands in fangs, but the location of these fangs are so far back in the mouth of the snake that it would be damn near impossible for a human to be envenomated by them, making them available for commercial sale to the public. Just a note for you if you ever wonder, if they can be purchased at a reptile show without the need for the venomous license, then they are non lethal to humans. ie: scorpions, tarantulas and the hognose... they are all venomous, but not in a lethal way.... Truthfully, I own a bunch of snakes and would welcome the bite of my Hognose over the bite of my Burmese Python!!! The hognose is by far the most docile of my snakes and the better feeder of all of them as well. Typically though, hog noses have to go through scented feedings before accepting mice plain.
