Are snakes found in France?

Yes there are several types of snake found in France. There are only two venemous snakes which are considered dangerous to some. ( Old young or sick people) These two are of the Adder family. They can be recognised by their vertical slit pupils. the rest are non venemous and have pupils very much like our own. Even non venemuous snakes bite, and it can be very painful. The most important thing is simply not to mess with them. They very often live in wood piles and scrub land, so be careful.
