History
The snake ranks as the 6th animal in the zodiac. Legend has it that these animals were chosen by the Jade Emperor to determine the order of the Chinese zodiac. The Jade Emperor created a race across a rapid river, with the first 12 being the 12 represented in the zodiac. Those born during the Year of the Snake are often described as intelligent, determined, and enigmatic.
