If she was bitten by a poisonous snake, then it would be obvious by now. The first sign is a great amount of swelling at the site of the bite. It would also cause her to be very depressed and she may start to have dark red gums and blood in her urine. This would all be apparent by now. If she is acting fine and there is no swelling, then there's little need to worry. She may have been bit by a non- poisonous snake. If you see a bite mark, then it's important to flush the wound well with normal water for ten minutes once a day until healed. If you do happen to notice swelling at the bite area, or other signs of illness illness, then you should take her to the vet immediately for treatment. I hope that helps and all is well with Ivy.
