From the Wikipedia article āSerpent (symbolism)ā:
āIn some cultures, snakes were fertility symbols. For example, the Hopi people of North America performed an annual snake dance to celebrate the union of Snake Youth (a Sky spirit) and Snake Girl (an Underworld spirit) and to renew the fertility of Nature. During the dance, live snakes were handled, and at the end of the dance the snakes were released into the fields to guarantee good crops. āThe snake dance is a prayer to the spirits of the clouds, the thunder and the lightning, that the rain may fall on the growing crops.ā"
One of the oldest known sacred places is a cave in southern Africa with a painting of a snake on the wall. Speculation is that the snake was a symbol of regeneration because it is symbolically ārebornā when it molts.

There are good snakes that eat rodents and good snakes that are not poisonous or want to hug you so hard that you are squeezed to death.
