Snakes are suborder within the order of ''Squamata'', class of reptiles (''Reptilia''), subphylum vertebrates, 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.
