Snake

“	Snakes will appear on the riverbank and logs as the game gets more difficult. You can hop Frogger onto a snake's back, but he'll get "splooched" if he hops too close to a snake's mouth!	„
	~ Description from the Frogger Atari 2600 instruction manual (Parker Brothers)

Snakes are recurring enemies in the Frogger series. They are hungry predatory reptiles that slither around in search for prey.

If the player dwindles for too long on the horizontal riverbank that divides the highway and river sections, a hungry snake will soon appear and try to eat them. However, only the head of the snake is lethal and making contact with the rest of its body is harmless.

Likewise, in the river section, another snake will sometimes appear slithering on the longer logs that float on the third lane. This variant usually starts appearing from the third level and onward in most versions of the game.

Frogger: The Great Quest[]

“	Ol' Rattle Butts are a danger for Frogger throughout the Third Kingdom. They are a real nuisance and can do Frogger a lot of damage if he is not careful. They are lazy though, and stay only in their own territories waiting for victims.	„
	~ In-game description from the "Collection" menu

Snakes are encountered in The Tree of Knowledge, The Dark Trail Ruins, and The Dark Trail (PC).
