Match only one URL with Javascript

I have this code:

if (!window.location.href.match(/\?snake=/)) {

Which redirects the user if you go to site.com/snake. The problem is that it matches another URL starting with the same keyword and I get an endless loop:

site.com/snake-mobile

How can I avoid that? And only match a URL which ends with snake?

Use the $ boundary character at the end of your regexp

.match(/\/snake$/))

From MDN

$

Matches end of input. If the multiline flag is set to true, also matches immediately before a line break character.

You could use href.endsWith("snake"). It used endsWith ECMAS 6 function which is very usefull but it isn't compatible with all web Browsers.
