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.

The king cobra is the only species of snake that builds a nest on the forest floor, out of debris. Other species may dig 'nests' in the ground (short burrows to deposit their eggs in), or lay their eggs in abandoned rodent burrows, inside termite mounds, or under debris.
King cobras defend their nests, which is also unique among snakes. (Some other species of snakes will guard their eggs, but do not guard the area around them).

Did the Aztec really find a eagle with a snake on its beak?
Legend has it that the Aztecs were to find a place for their new city and build it where they saw an eagle with a snake in its beak perched on a cactus plant. That story is probably anecdotal. To build a city in such a poor location needs some justification. This is in reference to the establishment of what is now known as Mexico City. The story was either true or created later to justify the fact that the city was built on an island in a swamp. The image of the eagle with snake in beak, perched on a cactus is on the Mexican flag.
The original town, Tenochtitlan was built in 1325 by the Aztecs and was later rebuilt and named Mexico by the Spaniards in the mid 1500's after it was conquered by Cortés in 1521.
