A:Like the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the serpent was a common motif in many ancient Near Eastern religions. It demonstrates the fear and awe felt for snakes, and could be considered a hangover from earlier animist beliefs. The snake is portrayed as wiser than Adam and Eve, but there is no suggestion that this was because it received any help from a supernatural spirit or Satan, or that it was a representation of any evil spirit.

A:In the story of Adam and Eve, the snake was immensely wise and understood that the forbidden fruit would not really cause Eve to die, as God had said to Adam. He knew the real reason that the fruit was forbidden (Genesis 3:5) was that they would become like the gods and know of good and evil. Eve believed the serpent and ate the fruit, proving the truth of what the serpent had said. Of course, with forked tongues and no larynx, serpents can not really talk, even if their brains were capable of language, but in the story of Adam and Eve, this is what happened.

Where does the snake come from in the bible?

I am guessing that you mean that when does it first appear, it is as a serpent. In the story of Adam and Eve, the serpent is the one that tries to deceive Adam and Eve into eating the forbidden fruit. He eventually convinces Eve to eat the fruit and Eve convinces Adam to eat the fruit as well. They then were made to leave the garden because of their disobedience to God.
