Given that 蛇心仏口 (lit. snake's heart, buddha's mouth) means "cunning and spiteful, yet honey-tongued with feigned kindness" and one of the most cunning generals during the Warring States period was nicknames "the Viper", I can say with amost certainty that "snake old man" would mean something like the English expression "sly old fox".
