Viper

A woman was bit by a snake that was hiding under her 2-year-old grandchild's crib on Saturday.

The snake, which was reportedly a viper, entered the house through an open door.

The incident occurred in a country house in the area of Skotina, Larissa, in central Greece.

A 40-year-old herpetologist is in intensive care in hospital after being bitten by a viper in a Thessaloniki school.

The incident happened on Friday evening when the volunteer herpetologist - a zoologist who studies reptiles and amphibians - was called to the school to trap a viper spotted by a teacher.
