The giant snake might be, the demonic snake in the underworld who assailed Ra and his entourage every night when the sun (Ra) moves "beneath the Earth". Every night, he is defeated by Ra and Set, the God of Chaos (who in this myth suggests he later redeemed himself of his crimes against Osiris). Perhaps the giant snake is meant to serve as some realistic explanation of how the myth came to be, just like the Isu explain the myths of the gods. I don't think it's out-of-place for Assassin's Creed at all. It's just a giant snake. Maybe it is a remnant of Isu genetic engineering experiments; entirely plausible.
