It usually depends on the story it appears in. Generally, a snake represents betrayal and trickery, originating from the story of Adam and Eve.
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.
God told Adam and eve that they could eat from any of the fruits in the garden, except for the tree of knowledge. eve took a walk by her self, and walk by it. the devil who was in the form of a snake, tempted eve to eat from the tree of knowledge, then she gave some to Adam. God found out, and told them that the had to leave the garden, and work. He still loved them, but he had his reasons to kick Adam and eve out.
There is no name of the serpent that tempted Eve and Adam, but the person behind the snake was God's enemy mentioned at Revelation 12:9.
God, i think, was unaware that the snake tricked Adam and eve to eat the fruit.
