The taxonomy of a snake is the biological classification of it's species. Snake species vary greatly, but here is an example. I'm using the Ball Python as the example:

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Class: Reptilia
Order: Squamata
Suborder: Serpentes
Family: Pythonidae
Genus: Python
Species: regius
Therefore the scientific name of the Ball Python is Python regius.

All snakes share the first 6 (up until Suborder: Serpentes). Everything after that varies.
