Absoultly not. And snakes cannot regenerate like lizards do.

Ha ha ha ha. Not only do they NOT do that, but..........

They don't drink milk from cows teats.........
They don't hold their tail in their mouth and roll down hills like a wheel to get away from predators...........
They are not slimey............
They are not evil creatures that trick you into eating an apple............
