There were some definitive things that happened at the curse.
1-Adam had to contend with weeds to grow garden, he was cast out of the garden of eden.
2-Eve would now have to have pain in childbearing as opposed to no pain, she would be subject to her husband.
3-The serpent would now have to crawl instead of .....?
We do not see any other changes physically except that the serpent, who was the serpent before the change, lost his means of motivation other than crawling.
If serpent seed doctrine was true then they should still be able to mate.

The doctrine (not explicitly stated in scripture) teaches that the serpent was closer to what man looks like. The serpent could talk right?
Gen 3:1
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

The curse, however changed the serpent's form to what it looks like today, so that's why mating is not possible today. It is also espoused that the serpent looked more like man before the curse and that is the "missing link" which evolution is looking for...I'll try to get a quote for that...
