Snakes are a group of reptiles that lack limbs. Snakes are sometimes referred to informally as serpents. Some snakes are venomous.

A snake that would fall down on a hapless victim when a doorbell was pulled was part of the Sherlock Holmes holographic story that Data and Geordi La Forge ran in 2365. (TNG: "Elementary, Dear Data")

When Commander Riker was suffering from acute lack of REM sleep in 2367 he imagined that there were snakes underneath his blanket. (TNG: "Night Terrors")

In 2370, the D'Arsay archive turned parts of a photon torpedo on USS Enterprise-D into living snakes. (TNG: "Masks")

The group of snakes included garter snakes, rat snakes, and milk snakes, all common and harmless.
