No. Snakes are relatively recently evolved compared with other types of vertebrates and are the newest branch of reptiles. The first animals with backbones we fish, which were followed by amphibians and reptiles. Dinosaurs, mammals, birds, turtles, crocodiles, and lizards all had backbones and appeared before the first snakes slithered across the ground.
