The legend is that St Patrick drove them away, but it is more likely that there never was any. Ireland was probably once attached to Britain (which in turn was attached to mainland Europe) but over the years they separated. Snakes, put simply, didn't have time to make it to Ireland before it broke off and became an island, although they did make it to Britain (at least, the adder did). It's not really related to our climate, as ours is fairly similar to Britain, which, as mentioned, supports the adder.

it's true that there are no snakes, can't be certain why


marshfield_meme
No - if you will search 'snakes in Ireland' on yahoo search you will discover that it is believed that Ireland has never had snakes.

There are no snakes in Ireland/

Climatic conditions have nothing to do with this

Britain which is an island of similar climate, does have snakes.

Ireland has a limited flora and fauna compared with continental Europe.

This is attributed to the Ice Age coverage of the island which killed off many species,

When the ice sheet retreated, the sea level rose thereby separating Ireland from the continental landmass.

We do have some species peculiar to Ireland.. the Irish Hare for example.

We don't have any weasels, only stoats. We have no moles.
The toad does not inhabit Ireland except for the Natterjack in two areas. This is especially peculiar as this kind of toad in known only in distant part of Spain.

St Patrick has many "aul yarns" about him..heck, it's Ireland isn's it!


☮ Sprεε
aw, no, cute theory tho.


Ugly Angel
Ok, I don't care whether there really are snakes in Ireland or not, if there arn't any there, it's because of natural causes, not because somebody drove them away.

What they dont tell you is that he is the only one who saw any snakes.


Thula1979
It's because Snake are reptiles and most reptiles don't live in cold countries


annrenee33
There are no snakes native to Ireland and none that could survive there in the wild due to the climate and the acidity of the soil.


john_holliday_1876
It's true that there are no snakes in Ireland because the climate in Ireland won't support snakes. No Saints had anything to do with it, and no snakes or saints were harmed in the production of this answer.
