The snakes represented evil for centuries.
This most probably stems from the fact they were connected with death (because of poison).
Not because they are supposed to be ugly.

In some cultures they also represented medicine (caduceus/rod of asclepius) or knowledge/wisdom.

However,their main symbolic meaning seems to remain evil.

Hope that answers your question.
