Description
This cobra snake toy is made from a flexible blend rubber, known as TPE, and stretches to 124cm from the tip of its nose to the end of its tail. Its body is 3.7cm wide and 4cm high, and it weighs just 221g, so it is light enough to drape, coil and carry about with ease. The top is a bright grass green moulded all over with small raised scales, ringed at intervals with reddish-brown bands, while the underside is a pale cream with ribbed belly scales running its whole length. The head has dark eyes and a little forked tongue, and the tail tapers to a fine pale point.
Because it bends so readily, you can arrange it however you like: wound into a tight spiral, looped loosely across a desk or laid out at full length along a shelf. It is a toy first and foremost, and the fun is in the handling, twisting it into new coils and poses and seeing how lifelike it can look. Left curled on a chair or peeping out from behind a cushion, it is sure to raise a jump and then a laugh, so keep it for a bit of good-natured mischief around the house as well as for play.
The scales are moulded into the surface along its whole length, so the texture is there to feel as well as to see, and the colours are blended softly from green to cream along the sides. To keep it looking its best, we suggest wiping it over with a damp cloth and letting it dry naturally, and storing it loosely coiled rather than knotted tight so it keeps its shape. Wrapped up in a coil inside a small box, it makes a fun present that tends to get a big reaction the moment the lid comes off.
