Serpent can be a synonym for snake used by an author for variety, or it could be more generic than just a snake - Ie: fiery serpent, winged serpent

Snakes are animals... Serpents represent maybe Dragons, Demons... Something evil. Satan was a serpent. Serpent is a word to describe an evil thing. Remember that, or I'll give you an F.
....LMAO!
