There are a number of countries that don’t have any snakes. These include:
Australia: Although Australia is home to some of the most venomous snakes in the world there are also large areas of the country that are completely snake-free. This is largely due to the fact that Australia is an island and snakes are not good swimmers!
Ireland: Ireland has a similar story to Australia. It is an island and as such snakes have never been able to gain a foothold. There have been a few sightings of snakes in Ireland over the years but these have all been non-native species that have been introduced by humans.
New Zealand: New Zealand also has a similar story to Australia and Ireland. It too is an island and snakes have never been able to reach it. The only exception to this is the occasional sea snake which has been known to wash up on the shores of New Zealand from time to time.
Iceland: Iceland is another island that snakes have never been able to reach. The climate is also too cold for snakes to survive in.
Greenland: The same is true of Greenland. It is too cold for snakes to survive in and being an island snakes have never been able to reach it.
Antarctica: You might think that Antarctica would be a haven for snakes given that it is a continent with a very warm climate. However this is not the case. There are no snakes in Antarctica because once again they have never been able to reach the continent.
So there you have it! There are a number of countries that don’t have any snakes. This is largely due to the fact that they are islands or have a climate that is too cold for snakes to survive in.
