Tyler Butcher had been walking with her family in the New Forest in Hampshire on Good Friday when she was bitten on the foot by the venomous snake.
The schoolgirl was taken to Southampton General Hospital’s intensive care unit after an allergic reaction to the venom caused her leg to turn black.
She was given antivenom by doctors and was said to be recovering well in hospital on Saturday. Her father, Kenny, said the family were walking back to the car when his daughter “let out a yelp”.
He said: “At first I thought she had been stung by a stinging nettle but then I saw the snake slithering away and the puncture marks on her foot.
“She lifted her leg off the ground and was standing on one leg. You can tell by your children if they are in pain and she was in absolute agony.
