Best Answer

Yes. They devolved them from being lizards

EDIT:

Snakes and Varanoid lizards (Helodermatidae, Lanthanotus, and Varanidae) are believed to have a common ancestor. However, regardless of what exactly the ancestor was, snakes did evolve from a legged reptilian ancestor some time in the Cretaceous period.

No, snakes are legless. some salamanders called Sirenians have two residual hind legs some two forelegs, they are wholly aquatic, and do resemble serpentine animals.

No, they have no legs. Some snakes have small appendages that are similar to legs or are just small claws. But, the absence of legs is one of the defining characteristics of snakes.
