Bede, in his Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation says of Ireland that no snake can live there--if there is a snake on a ship approaching Ireland, it dies as soon as the air from the island touches it.

Bede says nothing about St. Patrick driving the snakes from the island.

The European Viper is found above the Arctic circle in Scandinavia. It has a two year gestation period to cover the short summer season.
