The snake can be a powerful symbol of the shadow, the dark, repressed, and often instinctual aspects of our personality. Deception, in this context, might not be about an external lie, but about self-deception. The snake can represent the lies we tell ourselves, the truths we hide from ourselves, or the "venomous" feelings (like jealousy, resentment, or anger) that are hidden and threaten to "strike at any time of anger or of jealousy".
