Why can't you change batteries in snake's head. The phillips head screws turn but nothing happens. Useless if you can't change batteries.

Can you buy the special tool to open the snake head

It's just a very small philips screw driver, found at any hardware store or store that sells tools.

How can you change the batteries?

The batteries are fairly easy to change but there are a few tips that can be helpful. First, you need 5 AAA batteries. On the remote, simply unscrew teh battery compartment with a standard phillips head and replace 2 batteries. There are 3 AAA batteries in the snake's head. Turn the snak on its back and you'll see 4 large and 2 small screws. Tip #1: don't mess with the small screws. The four large screws need ot be taken out. If you look carefully at the screw head you'll see that the screws seem to require a triangle shaped screwdriver head. Good luck finding one of those. tip #2: you can use a 2.5 mm slotted (i.e., regular flat head) screwdriver. Take your time to carefully place the screwdriver tip into the triangle. It should be a nice, tight fit. Unscrew the four screws. Next turn the snake right-side-up and gently pry the upper part of the head from the bottom. Tip #3: be careful to not pull on the wires and if the lights for the eyes come out of their slots, simply press them back into place before reassembly. Tip #4: with the head cover removed, you'll see the tip of one battery in the first joint to the rear of the snake's head. grasp the first joint with one hand, hold the head with your other hand and then gently slide the joint away from the head. The entire battery will now be visible and replaceable. Turn the snake over and you'll find 2 more AAA batteries in the bottom of the first joint. After replacing the 3 batteries, reassemble and have fun.

What does the button on top of the head do?

Hi there. The snake does not offer a button on the top of it's head. Thank you.

Moving snake toy. Has remote control.

I gave this to a friends animals (1 dog, 2 cats) for Christmas. I thought it would be intimidating for cats because it’s big but their cats really enjoyed playing with it. Good value for the money and it was fun watching the cats. No assembly required. Comes with remote and batteries are included.

Changing Batteries

After reading all the reviews about battery replacement in the snake head, looking at the video was no help. Using the screwdriver that fits our eyeglass screws works perfect. Yes the screws were tight but now they will be easier to remove. After the removal of the two screws in the head/neck area, batteries pop out and piece of cake. The boys love this snake. Good speed and control. Although the 5 year old got angry at his brother and popped the body apart Fortunately, this time it snapped back in place and works great.

Cute but looks kinda cheap

It's cute but the controller specifically looks really cheap. It works but doesn't feel like it's super well made or that it will last very long.

To change batteries is a nightmare

The snake and controller come with batteries.When you need to replace batteries in the snake, be prepared. You need a tiny Phillips screwdriver, not something most people have at home.They made the simplest thing to do into a nightmare..The snake operates great, but changing the batteries is a nightmare.

Great toy for a special-needs child

My special-needs child usually doesn’t like playing with toys, but he absolutely loves this toy and he can play with it all on his own. I highly recommend this.
