There is only one snake mentioned in The Bible as living in the Garden of Eden - the clever serpent who seems not to have posed any physical danger to humans. Another way of looking at it is that if every species of animal that ever was, including every species of snake, was in the Garden, then there would have been some hundreds of different types of poisonous snakes in the Garden of Eden. But the real answer is, according to scholars, that the Garden of Eden was a purely mythical place. Mythical places can be free of unpleasant creatures if you want them to be.

Genesis chapter 2 says that a river flowed through the Garden of Eden and that it had four tributaries, two of which were the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers, which flow through ancient Babylonia.

Although there is no river Gihon and appears never to have been such a river, this information places the Garden of Eden far away in in Ethiopia.A single river can not have tributaries in two continents, so the Garden of Eden can not really have been in either babylonia or Ethiopia. This is further evidence that there was no Garden of Eden. Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that the Garden of Eden is a purely mythic place.

Could the legendary Garden of Eden be in east Africa?
Yes, the Garden of Eden could be located in Africa. The Book of Genesis says there were four rivers that went out of Eden, the Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, and Euphrates. The Gihon is described as being in Ethiopia, which is in Africa. However, the two rivers that are clearly known to us, the Tigris and the Euphrates are in south-western Asia. There can be no single terrestrial place that would serve as the common source of these four widely separated rivers. True, the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers do meet, but the lands the text associates with the first two rivers are clearly separated from the Tigris-Euphrates valley, the first to the north, the second to the south. This geographical impossibility tells us that the Garden of Eden was a purely mythical place.The Hebrew people seem to have believed it was somewhere in the Near East and the myths, from which the Genesis story is no doubt derived, are Near Eastern myths. Even in legend, the proper location of the Garden of Eden is not Africa.
