never tried it... but whenever i have a problem like that i just find a video on the internet and study it. try to even download a video of a snake moving and rotoscope the basic movement. that will help you understand how the snake moves to be able to animate it yourself.
Jason Ryan also has a video sneak tutorial on his 'Ramp Up' section of his site, look for the 'the sneak' : http://www.jrawebinar.com/ If you haven't checked out his site for his training material/monthly webinar/ or free Ramp Up's you're missing out.
Not to get all Stanaslavski on ya but what is the character sneaking from/to? WHat is he or she thinking? Act it out. Shoot it with your web cam. Analyse it.
There are a million ways to do everything.

hey there!
that was stupid of me- i thought you were asking about sakes instead of sneak...:confused:
but i'd still give the same advise- find a video- study it and even exaggerate the movement if you want.
videoclip on the net

There are also sneaks in Richard Williams' 'Animator's Survival Kit' if you have it.
