Yes, Genesis 3:1 states that serpent was "more subtil than all the beasts of the field". In addition, when God cursed the serpent he became a snake, that is, crawled on his belly. If this is not so then the curse God pronounced had little effect. Finally, a snake has a forked tongue and cannot articulate words. Thus the original serpent was an upright beast.

The Hebrew word for serpent comes from the root "nachash" meaning:

to practice divination, divine, observe signs, learn by experience, diligently observe, practice fortunetelling, take as an omen [Strong's Lexicon 5172]

Also see REVELATION 12:9

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Notice the words "old serpent" who deceives. Remember that the devil through the serpent brought the original sin in the Garden of Eden and attempts a final great deception "mark of the beast" in the book of revelations.

In Christian tradition, the serpent is typically associated with Satan or evil due to its role in tempting Eve to eat from the Tree of Knowledge, leading to the Fall of Man. The idea of the serpent being a beast before the curse is not explicitly mentioned in The Bible, but it is generally understood that the serpent was a cunning and deceitful creature in the Garden of Eden.

Is ay cramaba a curse?

"Ay caramba!" is a minced oath, meaning a curse that's been changed so it doesn't sound like a curse. The word "caramba" comes from the Spanish word "carajo," a slang word for male genitalia. Just like some people don't like the word "dang," some people won't like "Ay caramba." To most people, it won't be a curse, but to some it will be.

Was the snake Satan in the garden of eden?

It was a serpent in the Garden and the serpent spoke to Eve. There is no indication that the serpent was a snake or that it was not in some other form before God found out what Eve and Adam had done. It was then that God told the serpent that he would crawl on his belly and eat the dust of man forever. Why would God curse something that already was. In other words God would not curse the serpent to not walk if it was already not walking. So it stands to reason that if the serpent was cursed to crawl then it was apparently walking before the curse that God put on it. Plus it also communicated to Eve to disobey God's law.Serpent is a word of Latin origin (from serpens, serpentis "something that creeps. So couldn't the creeper have been something else that creeped. Maybe a fallen angel that worked against God and when God discovered what he had done cursed this angel and all of its offspring to crawl on its belly forever thus a snake.
