well in India street performers earn money by getting Cobra's to "dance". The snakes are kept in shallow reed baskets covered of course, until the performer removes the lid of the shallow basket and blows on a gourd like instrument {similar though thicker than a flute} he weaves the instrument just a foot or so from the snake and the snake dances to the movement as if hypnotized, ____but of course snakes are deaf and the cobra just follows the movements_____, nevertheless its fantastic to watch, so i guess you would never get them to follow verbal commands like dogs.

Wow, five responses so far and nobody has mentioned that snakes can NOT HEAR. They can feel vibrations through their jaw, but they certainly wouldn't be able to hear anything spoken.
Also, they don't have the mental capacity to learn anything except for the most rudimentary responses such as getting alert when it's time to eat.

As said before snakes can not hear, but I have a savanna monitor lizard that is paper trained and can stand on his hind legs.

Snakes do not hear air born sounds. You would have to teach him sign language first. So basically no.

No. Snakes don't have external ears or the ability to reason.

haha, I'm sorry to say that it will not. And besides you couldn't tell a snake to sit or shake anyways.
