That's the only venomous snake that's ever bitten me

I'm glad it's a weak venom. I got bitten in Spain. I didn't know they were so wide spread either. Especially in the UK! That's wild. I imagine that's something that smuggled it's way onto ships a few hundred years back? I don't think the species would be so old that it was on the British Isles before they broke off from Europe kajillions of years ago.
