No. The story of the snake in the Garden of Eden is a remnant of early animistic beliefs that are still to be found in indigenous beliefs, such as the Australian Dreamtime.

Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) asks us to think of the snake allegorically and as an external embodiment of certain essentially human, rational capacities. The author used the snake to tell us about ourselves and our own human weaknesses.
