Is it true that there is a hypnotizing snake?

No, no, it isn't true, but I know, that when natrix natrix (or the grass snake) is trying to catch a frog, the frog begans acting really strangely - it isn't running away, it just begans hopping very slowly and calls very strangely, like a SHIP. Strange, isn't it!
