the northernmost snake in the world is a viper known as the Adder, Crossed Viper, and Kreuzotter(Vipera berus berus)which is found in the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia. This is no doubt the same one you saw on TV as well.

The Andean milksnake(Lampropeltis triangulum andesiana) has been known to inhabit elevations of up to 9000 feet in the Andes Mountains, but this is very close to the equator, and nothing close to being the southernmost snake although still at a much higher elevations than most snakes nontheless.
