Yes, this is true, there have never been snakes living in the wild here, which I am glad of, there are enough creepy crawlies and horrible things in my garden without adding snakes to the list.
People do keep them as pets though.

none at all.
the real reason, some idiot sed because its an island WRONG britian is an island but has 3 species of snake and the slow worm, think about it. the snakes were unable to make it to Ireland because of the ice in the last ice age. As the ice retreated north britian became warm enough for snakes and as the ice caps were larger the sea levels were lower so Ireland and britian were connected to europe, by the time ireland became warm enough for snakes the riseing sea levels made us an island!
That my friends is the truth.

There are no snakes, or Slow worms (legless lizards that are frequently mistaken for snakes) that occur naturally in Ireland.

yes, however the story of St Patrick running the snakes out of Ireland is not actually true, the snakes represent paganism, as they were never any snakes here in the first place.

Everywhere except Ireland, New Zealand, Iceland, Greenland, and Antarctica, has snakes, its because these are surrounded by water.
