What was the reason for Satan taking the form of a serpent? Satan could have deceived Eve by taking on the appearance of a man. There was a possibility for angels to appear as humans. To deceive her, Satan disguised himself in an unidentifiable form. Personally, I believe that Satan couldn't have entered the snake without its permission. Let me explain this, the legion asked Jesus permission to enter into the herd of pigs. In response, the pigs said they could not live with those devils, so they ran into the sea and drowned. However, the snake did give place to the devil, not the pig.
As a result, God cursed the snake and said it would crawl on its stomach and eat dirt for the rest of its life. This curse was applied to all snake species, regardless of their variety. Then God spoke to the spirit inside it and said that there will be enmity between satan and the woman - the woman’s seed (JESUS) shall crush the serpent’s head but satan shall His heel.
Because Jesus crushed Satan's head, his brain has collapsed, and he cannot devise new tricks. He resorts to his old tricks and strategies each time. So, Satan entered the serpent's body and took its identity. That is the same identity used for the devil till the end. It is the serpent who is cunning and crafty, but it is the lamb who is guileless and innocent. For the purpose of covering man's nakedness, the lamb was killed, ripped, and its skin was taken. It is a depiction of Jesus. This the same (guileless lamb) identity given to Jesus till the end. John said Jesus is the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. In Revelations 5:6, John saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain. Jesus has been identified as a lamb. It doesn't mean you should worship a lamb and call it Jesus or run away from snakes and call them devils. Even if you kill all the snakes on this planet, you cannot completely eradicate Satan. They are just references. I have seen some who don’t eat doves because they claim it to be the Holy Spirit. In that case, some will stop eating mutton saying it is Jesus himself.
