There is of course zero evidence in the Bible for that point of view, and it contradicts itself internally, even beyond what would be normal given the source.

Going strictly by Genesis, the talking snake is really, honestly, just a talking snake. Satan isn't even mentioned until much later.

A talking snake that isn't Satan? Don't be absurd.

Since Satan does not exist, any talking snake you come across cannot be Satan. Q.E.D. and also, Q.E.F.
