"I have started a search for more snakes, and or other toys, as she likes to use it as a kicker. She enjoys the crunching noise. Also, loves the feathers."

— Maurice

"It Is Just Wand, Not the Coiled Snake as Pictured. - completely misleading I suggest they fix the picture to reflect the ACTUAL toy or else have the engineering team modify it as it currently is."

Bottom Line

It's a good short-term toy for fun, but you might want to look for a more durable option for long-term use.
