Yeah, but according to classical mythology, the Sphinx of Thebes (the one responsible for the classic "four legs morning, two legs midday, three legs evening" riddle) supposedly either ate itself or flung itself off a nearby cliff onto some jagged rocks after Oedipus became the first person to actually answer her riddle correctly, and I didn't see a pit of spikes anywhere nearby in that scene.


 
Furthermore, said Greek Sphinx was in fact part serpent (usually represented by ithes tail being a snake) as it was the offspring of the great monsters Typhon and Echidna (much like its siblings Cerberus, the Lernean Hydra, Orthrus, the Chimaera, the Nemean Lion, and Ladon).
