There weren't any snakes before the fall of man. It's a logical conclusion which is deduced by the application of cause and effect, logic and reason. Look at it this way, you can’t curse a snake to be limbless, it already is.
Serpent vs. Snake
The Fall is Coming
Something has to happen which changes an intelligent bipedal reptilian humanoid into a limbless snake. This happens in the context of changing the Earth from its newly created very good state into its cursed state.
A Talking Snake?
We can conclude that Eve had a conversation with a bipedal reptilian humanoid, not a snake. It's described as subtle. This was a highly intelligent sentient being with mastery of language and nuance.

We have a closed loop which shows us that a variety of words refer to the same idea: Serpents are a suborder in the Class of Reptiles, and there are different kinds of Serpent.
