Safari Ltd. Incredible Creatures® 266529 - Boa Constrictor

Ok, let me start by saying I got this to prank my husband...who is deathly afraid of snakes. Before you go and pity him, just know he has gotten me with some pretty solid pranks over the years and I can never get him back. So this was the ultimate win for me, and it has become a legendary tale. I put the toy snake on the front steps of our house, hoping to catch his reaction on our security cameras. Days went by and he didn’t even notice it. One day, I was home before him and just happened to pull up the camera feed as he was walking to the door...I even hit record manually just in case TODAY was the day. I watched as he came up the sidewalk and lost it when he finally saw the snake and reacted. What you can’t see off to the side is that he went around our front porch, climbed the railing, then scooted quickly to the front door. I was literally in TEARS at this point while laying on our bed, rolling in hysterics as things unfolded. I could hear him walk through the house, out the back door and things got quiet for a moment. But I knew what he was doing....he was getting a shovel. In anticipation, I kept the security camera open on my phone and waited. After a few minutes I hear him come back through the house and he opened the front door again. I hit record on the camera and caught him take the shovel and attempt to kill the snake with one downward stab— and at this point I’m CRYING in hysterics and laughing so hard my stomach hurt!! He came back in the house and said “So you think this is funny?!” up the stairway at me and I LOST IT. In my laughter, I bellied out a “YES, I do!!” This snake was so worth the purchase, and I even used it to stop the birds from making a nest on top of the columns on our front porch. I don’t hate birds, but hate when they nest and lay eggs next to either door going in or out of the house because they attack us like we have somehow invaded their space lol. I continue to get a lot out of this simple little guy, and it’s safe to say he looks real enough to fool humans and birds :)

So I bought this for my cousin who loves snakes, but to also scare a couple people before I gave it to her. Her mom is slightly scared of snakes and she also was adamant that she was not to have a pet snake in her house so it was fun to see my cousin open it on Christmas and get a jump out of her mom. This way she can have a super low maintenance snake and keep her mom happy. Note: It is definitely not size XL. It's pretty accurately sized compared to a real snake and very realistic looking. Fits in one hand though probably from wrist to tip of fingers or so.

This guy looked so real. Good prank for a boys birthday and now he keeps it on his desk

This needed to be biger and more flexible to small and to stiff

This thing is so real in life like I took it on a camping trip and set it on the porch and scared the hell out of everybody. It was hilarious.
