# Snake (`.sds-loader-snake`)

Snake — loader animation. Loaders animation in SDS Motion Forge v5.0.0. It loops continuously as soon as the class is applied.

- Category: Loaders (https://sds-motion-forge.netlify.app/categories/loaders/)
- Animated properties: transform
- Compositor-only: yes
- Needs child elements: no
- Needs per-character spans: no
- JavaScript: none required

## Use it

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@salkomdesignstudio/sds-motion-forge/dist/categories/loaders.min.css" />

<span class="sds-loader-snake"></span>
```

## How it works

Plays as soon as the class is applied, looping continuously. It animates movement and scale (transform) — compositor-only, so it never causes page reflow. `--sds-ease-bounce` controls the feel — override either on the element or :root (the sds-fast/sds-slow modifier classes do exactly that).
