A snake is a pattern where the right hand throws all the objects across to the left hand, and then the left hand throws all the objects back across to the right hand. All the throws are the same height. The first object should be caught at about the same time that the last object is thrown.
A snake pattern is a cascade with as many gaps in it as possible without having any consecutive gaps. It can be used as an exercise to prepare for learning a cascade with nearly twice as many objects as there are in the snake.
