It means I deserved what happened to me as I helped a scoundrel.

"Served" means that he was the object of an action (here, being bitten). "Pitying" means that he felt bad for the snake and, as a result of feeling bad, decided to help the snake (which turned out to be a fatal decision).

Yes, "I am rightly served" means "I deserved what happened to me". When someone does something wrong, dishonest, selfish or foolish, and then they suffer for their actions, we say "It serves you right!" This means they deserved the result of their own bad behaviour.
