Snakes are supposed to be the right hand of Satan, so why did Noah protect them so they would not be extinct. If they weren't on the ark, then they would have drowned and been extinct forever. Wouldn't the evil snakes have corrupted everything else on the ark?

The best person to answer that question is the conductor on the Ark. Presumably, one of Mr. N oah's employees.
Perhaps the two snakes offered a suitable bribe.
But the original cast that starred in that biblical story, is probably no longer among the living.
Darn clever them snakes.
Don't you think.

Snakes are not the right hand of Satan or representations of him in any way. Everything God created was good, including all animals. For whatever reason, Satan chose to inhabit a snake to speak through. Maybe because it was capable of going up into the tree of life, which is what Satan wanted to speak to Eve about to tempt her to disobey God. He could have chosen a bird or any other animal. Because Satan inhabited one snake doesn't mean every snake is inherently evil. They were NOT evil and that is why Noah brought them on the ark. Snakes did not corrupt everything on the ark. Sin entered the world when Eve disobeyed God and it is sin that has corrupted the world.

Well, it was Satan who took the form of a snake/serpent. So it really wasn't the snakes fault. Actually, there didn't used to be any snakes until the fall of man (when Adam and Eve ate the fruit after Satan tempted them). There used to only be serpents/reptiles. They all used to be like lizards.
Genesis 3:14
So the Lord God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this (tempted Adam and Eve), cursed are you among all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat the dust all the days of your live."
It says that they(serpents like that) will crawl on their bellies from now on, in other words, become what we call snakes.

Snakes don't REPRESENT the devil...the only connection is that satan used a snakes body to talk to Eve. Thats all. End of story. This doesn't make snakes evil or anything, that'd just be silly....God created snakes, didn't He?

Snakes aren't evil. they were used to show just how Sneaky and Slippery and Sly satan really is, after all he has and is deceiving the Whole world.
Re 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
1jo 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

I feel that the some bible was written on more of a poetic view. Duirng those times they used whatever was availlable to express themselves. the snake may only be a representation of the emotion and sentencing of the passage, since it crawls on it's belly and virtually devours everything whole- such as your spirit, morals, self respect and anyhting else to make you out to be a terrible person.

Snakes are as evil as your dog and cat, forget the Satan business.

Snakes survived until now because God wanted to save every creature He created.

God told Moses to lifted up a serpent on a rod as a picture that Jesus Christ would be lifted up for our sin.
Num 21:8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
Num 21:9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
Jhn 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
2Cr 5:21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
