Exegesis
The verse opens with the genitive absolute construction systrepsantos {συστρέψαντος | sys-trép-san-tos} de {δέ | dé} tou Paulou {τοῦ Παύλου | toû Paú-lou}, which sets the circumstance “when Paul had gathered” independently from the main finite verb.
In context — Acts 28:3
But when Paul had gathered a quantity of sticks and put them on the fire, a viper came out from the heat and fastened itself to his hand .
