It's a land animal. You can eat any land animal that has a split hoof AND chews the cud. Snake has no hooves and does not chew the cud.

Hmmm. Never thought about that. My Dad once butchered a snapper turtle and my mom made turtle burgers. Can't really remember what it tasted like. I guess they wouldn't be considered land though

Animals that live in the waters must have fins AND scales.

Yes, snakes are covered in scales, which are cornified folds in their skin's epidermal layers. These scales are made of keratin, similar to hair and fingernails, and are arranged in overlapping rows along the snake's body. The number and arrangement of scales is characteristic of each snake species. For example, snake embryos develop a hexagonal pattern of scales on their backs and flanks, while their ventral scales form in a single row.

Snake scales serve several purposes, including:

• Protection: Scales act as an environmental shield for the snake, protecting its body
• Movement: Snakes have elongated scales on their bellies to help them climb and crawl
• Camouflage: Scales can create simple or complex color patterns that help snakes hide from predators or display anti-predator behavior
• Moisture retention: Scales help snakes retain moisture within their bodies

Yes, eels have both fins and scales, though they may not appear to have scales because they are embedded in their thick skin:
