A little about swedish snakes from a pamphlet. Note that snakes and lizards are protected species in sweden and may not be injured or killed.
Adders and other snakes
Sweden has three species of snake which are all protected throughout
the country. They are the adder, the smooth snake and the grass
snake. The grass snakes are completely harmless. So is the rare
smooth snake; but since it is sometimes confused with the adder, it is
occasionally killed by mistake.
Adders live primarily on voles and mice, and may thus be of some
use. They never attack humans spontaneously, they only strike if they
feel threatened. Grounds can be made unattractive to snakes by
cutting grass very short, removing brushwood, and by keeping piles of
compost and leaves at a good distance from the house. It should be
noted, however, that the same measures will also discourage hedgehogs.
It is not permitted to catch or kill adders and other snakes in the
wild. Adders found on house grounds may be removed or, if no other
alternative is available, may be killed as a last resort. Grass and
smooth snakes may never be moved without explicit permission.
