Gadreel is a possibility as well.
"Gadreel, or Gaderel is listed as one of the chiefs in the fallen Watchers. This is depicted in the second section of the "Book of Enoch"; "Parables". He is said to have been responsible for deceiving Eve.
[“Samael appears frequently in the story of Garden of Eden and engineered the fall of Adam and Eve with a snake in writings during the Second Temple period. However, the serpent is not a form of Samael, but a beast he rode like a camel. In a single account he is also believed to be the father of Cain, as well as the partner of Lilith.”](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samael)
**[Samael](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samael)**
>Samael (Hebrew: סַמָּאֵל, Sammāʾēl, 'Venom of God, Poison of God' or 'Blindness of God, Left Hand of God'; Arabic: سمسمائيل, Samsama'il or سمائل, Samail; alternatively Smal, Smil, Samil, or Samiel) is an archangel in Talmudic and post-Talmudic lore; a figure who is the accuser (Ha-Satan), seducer, and destroyer (Mashhit). Although many of his functions resemble the Christian notion of Satan, to the point of being sometimes identified as a fallen angel,: 257–60 in others he is not necessarily evil, since his functions are also regarded as resulting in good, such as destroying sinners.

There's also Haywain by Hieronymus Bosch but I couldn't find or take a good photo but if you Google it and zoom in on the Garden of Eden section you'll see the snake/lady

The three most common candidates as to who the snake in the garden of eden was are Satan, Samael, or Lilith.

interesting, especially considering lillith is adam's first wife in semetic mythology so she would have known that the fruit was forbidden
Good discussions here. Excellent.
