It is not an ordinary talking snake, it is a snake which was enabled to talk by God or Satan to transmit a message or something. Everything is very "spiritual" in this stories as seen by a believer.

It is not a "common reality" it is an "elevated reality, when God still walked the Earth".

Nobody believes that an ordinary snake could talk. But into a snake disguised Satan, could talk eloquently.

In the context of the Bible, without later interpretation, neither God nor Satan was directly involved with the snake.
