Snakes Follow The Way Of Serpents

Snakes Follow The Way Of Serpents in Japanese is 蛇の道は蛇 which is read ja no michi wa hebi

Both David Galef on page 30 of Even Monkeys Fall from Trees: The Wit and Wisdom of Japanese Proverbs (Vol 1) and Daniel Crump Buchanan on page 235 of his book Japanese Proverbs and Sayings use the translation “Snakes follow the way of serpents”. Buchanan says the English equivalent is “One devil knows another”. Galef suggests “Set a thief to catch a thief”. Perhaps “It takes a thief to know a thief” would be a better equivalent.
