Dead rough scaled snake on road to Nimbin

This is Arnar (Artie) one of our Icelandic HelpXers with a dead rough scaled snake on the Stony Chute Road about 10 kms from Nimbin. Quite dead, after having been run over by a car as it lay hard against the road sometime last night, soaking up the warmth. Artie was quite keen to take the dead snake from me and pose with it, but was slightly taken aback when I told him afterwards that it was highly venomous. (Well actually I had told him that before he took the snake, but he mustn't have heard me). There are no snakes in Iceland. Just Ice.
