Yeah, Blade Runner was the first thing i thought of when i saw this.
I'm pretty sure that the snake (and the owl) in Blade Runner were genetically engineered "replicants" since it would make more sense dramatically; the serial number on the snake scale was probably more fiction than science. Then again, there were the "toys" in the apartment which presumably were mechanically engineered, not biologically.
Oh, the horror if those little men were thinking biological creatures rather than mindless automitons ("Now, just sit very still when you're not needed to caper and entertain"). Shiver...
