That’s called a block and it is a completely common type of stutter. The ch ch ch is called a repetition and there’s a third type called prolongation where you hold out a sound like ssssssssnake instead of s s s snake. Most people who stutter have some combination of the three in different levels. Some may have a lot of blocks or none at all but all three are considered “normal or typical stuttering”
