Best Answer

Snakes evolved from lizard like reptiles. The fossil record of snakes is relatively poor because they are small and fragile but they first appear in the fossil record during the Cretaceous period (between 112 and 94 million years ago), with the earliest known snake fossils coming from Utah and Algeria. These early fossils are from the genera Coniophis and Lapparentophis.

If reptiles are found on another planet would they still be reptiles?

Most likely not as the term "reptile" on earth refers to a particular group of tetrapods on earth. If similar animals were discovered on another planet they might be referred to as "repiloids"or something to that effect by scientists. Though they might be called reptiles in everyday speech.
