Snakes are suborder within the order of ''Squamata'', class of reptiles (''Reptilia''), subphylum vertebrats, phylum ''Chordata''. They originate from lizard-like reptiles with legs. Their ancestors probably lived under the ground and lost their legs. The most primitive snakes (''Boidae'' and ''Pythonidae'') still have rudimentary back limbs.

Snakes are a group of animals that have frustrated evolutionists for many years.  They are anatomically unlike any other vertebrate and can hybridize regularly, supporting the notion that they are a [[apobaramin]]. Snakes can be classified into three families based on hydridization data: Boidae (boas and pythons), Colubridae (colubrid snakes), and Viperidae (Vipers).  Since hydrids can be formed within each family, but not between any family, each of the three can be classified as a [[holobaramin]], suggesting that an ancestral pair for each family was present on Noah's Ark.  Other research suggest multiple [[holobaramin]]s in each family suggesting up to 12 snake pairs on the Ark during the Flood.<ref>1.  Hennigan, T. 2005.

In the [[Bible]], it was a snake (serpent) that persuaded [[Eve]] to defy the law set down by [[God]], and eat the fruit of the [[Tree of Knowledge]], this causing the exile of [[Adam and Eve]] from [[Eden]]. Snakes have since then been associated with [[evil]] and [[deceit]].
