⁶ The wolf will reside for a while with the lamb,

And with the young goat the leopard will lie down,

And the calf and the lion and the fattened animal will all be together;

And a little boy will lead them.

 ⁷ The cow and the bear will feed together,

And their young will lie down together.

The lion will eat straw like the bull.

 ⁸ The nursing child will play over the lair of a cobra,

And a weaned child will put his hand over the den of a poisonous snake.

 ⁹ They will not cause any harm

Or any ruin in all my holy mountain,

Because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah

As the waters cover the sea.

 (Isaiah 11: 6-9)

1. Revelation 21:1-3 KJV ¹And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. ²And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. ³And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Weren't animals created as vegetarians ?

I don't know why God created snakes but I am sure He had a good reason.

Thorns

I've read that a thorn on a rose stalk is an undeveloped rose, ...wow, just imaging when the curse is removed, ...instead of one rose per stalk, there will be many, ...and the perfume that will emanate from them, ...it will be Paradise!

Kinda helps to understand a little about how all of creation "growns" in waiting for that day.

[JustPassingThru]

Before the "curse" God pronounced on the serpent, ...the serpent walked on legs and feet,

The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.  Gen 3:14

Because it was the animal that allowed satan to use it, it was cursed more than the other animals that "walked" on legs, we know this to be true because God was saying, ...instead of walking upright like the other animals, ...it is doomed to slither on it's belly.

I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” Gen 3:15

This is true today, ...there is a natural "enmity" in ever human against a snake, ...it takes special training to overcome this enmity in humans.

Lord bless

It is rather frightening when you consider a spider with a massiveness of that size.

Snake eat chicken not tomato.

Au contraire, mon frère.
I  have seen our chickens eat young poisonous copperheads, 10-14" long. Whole.
Chicken snakes eat only small young squab chickens, but usually just the eggs.
Momma hens are fighters over their broad.
And snakes will eat plastic/wood eggs, and golf balls (we kept them supplied)
Full grown chickens are too large to be eaten by any native north American snakes.
Not so in the tropics.

  If we didn't fear them we wouldn't be so quick to kill them and God says the woman will crush the serpent beneath her heel 

Living in the country with poisonous snakes every/any where, you can/will develop a hyper vigilant fear/caution.
Our toddler grand son was bitten by one, but lived, with the anti venom.
We have had a snake come into our home, make it's way to the kitchen, and climb up a file cabinet, to our bird cage.
My wife's singing canary and daughters cockatiel were killed, and the canary eaten.
I know because the snake couldn't get out with his swollen belly......
The only non poisonous snake I purposely killed (as requested by mi amour).
If I didn't, he would be back.

Good Morning R:

 Please correct me if I misinterpret the intent of your question, but you are asking why do snakes have venom that is poisonous to animals (and humans) if animal life were originally created to be vegetarians?  Some who espouse the theory of evolution speculate that animals designed especially to kill other animals for their existence derails the idea of creation; after all, animals and humans were originally intended by God to live in peace and harmony.

Regarding snake venom, please note this quotation I found regarding how some animal poisons may seem to be only for protection or killing: “In some cases we know that poisons play a role in the functioning of the body of the animal which manufactures them. In many instances this may be the real raison d’être of the venoms, quite apart from any protective value. The poisonous spittle of snakes, for example, has work to do in the digestion of the snake’s food.”—Marvels & Mysteries of Our Animal World, by The Reader’s Digest Association, 1964, p. 259.

When the planet reverts to its original paradisaic conditions, all animals and humans will dwell together in peace and harmony and one species, animal and human, will prey upon themselves: 

 

⁶ The wolf will reside for a while with the lamb,

And with the young goat the leopard will lie down,

And the calf and the lion and the fattened animal will all be together;

And a little boy will lead them.

 ⁷ The cow and the bear will feed together,

And their young will lie down together.

The lion will eat straw like the bull.

 ⁸ The nursing child will play over the lair of a cobra,

And a weaned child will put his hand over the den of a poisonous snake.

 ⁹ They will not cause any harm

Or any ruin in all my holy mountain,

Because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah

As the waters cover the sea.

 (Isaiah 11: 6-9)

It bites its fangs n inject the venom thru the fangs to the prey for killing,  they don't need that if they eat plants, do they ?

Its fangs was designed to inject venom. If it meant for digestion the venom wont hv channel into the fangs for injection, Why did God design this, they don't design it themselves.

What is God trying to show ?

Does God have a message to Adam n mankind with this cruel design given to the most cunning animal in the garden of Eden ? That it can burst venom from its mouth ? Is that some kind of warning ?

Best pet i ever had was a hand raised cockatiel.  Her name was Chicken.  She was an angel.  

When my daughter was living at home, she  raised cockatiels and other birds, to sell to stores for extra income.
She wound breed the pairs to try for the rare colors. She also would hand feed them to gentle/tame them.
She got 2x $ for rares, and 2x that for tame birds. She took it hard seeing her favorite pet bird dead under the snake.
I had an African Grey back in the sixties. Hocked my nikon to purchase a very young bird $160, today up to $1500.
The Greys are truly very intelligent birds, and could live up to 50-70 years.

That's cool, you had an angel that was really a cockatiel, named chicken?..........
