Yeah, I see a lot of people claiming that - but does the Bible make that claim?

Here's how the serpent was cursed:

Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.

I don't see Satan going on his belly, bruising our heels, or getting his head bruised! How did he escape a curse placed by God? Or is this just the snake's origin story too? I'm not going to claim the serpent might not have been put up to it, but I don't see Satan himself making an appearance here.
