I own 5 snakes and in my opinion they make great pets if you are a responsible owner. So when the Bible says that the serpent was punished (*by having to crawl on its belly) for making Eve eat the apple, I just don't see it. If its such a punishment then why are there so many snake species thriving on every corner of the Earth.
From my observation Snakes are perfectly capable of living long happy lives...for example a dog usually only live 10-12 years but one of my snakes can live up to 40 so again I don't see the punishment of god upon them. Did the Early Rabbi's just have a Snake Phobia.
