'''Snakes''' are long, [[limb]]less, [[scale|scaly]] [[reptile]]s which slither upon the ground and sometimes swim in [[water]]. Some snakes (about one third of species) are [[poison]]ous (specifically, [[venom]]ous). Snakes are abundant in warmer climates, and most of them are quite harmless to man. The fastest moving land snake is the [[Black Mamba]], which can move up to 7 miles per hour.

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 hybridization data: Boidae (boas and pythons), Colubridae (colubrid snakes), and Viperidae (Vipers). Since hybrids 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]].
