they were either wiped out by another animal, or it's to cold!
the same reason there are no kangeroos
The story goes that the Irish were offered by God the choice of oil or potatoes in the land, and you can guess which they chose.

So the story goes.

Sash.
All fauna came, in more recent ages, from central Europe and migrated to the British Isles and Ireland from there.

A limiting factor occurred when the Ice Age extinguished these reptiles. Then, after this period passed, the water of the Irish Sea and English Channel cut them off from Europe.

Any lands not connected to where snakes evolved are also without these serpents. e.g. New Zealand.

It's as simple as that.
