Calling the serpent in the garden Satan is retrofitting the myth. The story says it was the "most cunning of the beasts", so it was supposed to be an actual snake. At least God thought so, since the serpent's punishment included being made to slither on its belly.

many ancient cultures used the serpent as a symbol of wisdom....as far as we can tell this dates back to ancient Mesopotamia. the genesis story even adheres to that. first off it never names the serpent, but the serpent does offer the "fruit" from the tree of "knowledge of good and evil" or as other translations suggest, "wisdom".
Looks like all the Christians are misspelling "venomous"

that seems more accurate... but maybe insulting to snakes.
