Slitherin' succotash




















With just 2 AA batteries and this fantastic lifelike plastic you can protect your worldly goods as well as Brinks or ADT, and for a fraction of the price. Your family, friends and enemies will be lulled by its quiet lack of motion and comforting color scheme, but if they get too close, its eyes glow red, it hisses, tries to bite, and rattles its tail. Wait ‘til you hear the screams! Perfect for deterring a pesky younger sibling who won’t stay out of your room, or that snoopy spouse who’s bound and determined to find out why you keep the door locked every once in a while, or that mean teacher who’s clearly had it in for you since day one, even if it does result in a trip to the principal’s office. A little retaliation of the serpentine variety goes a long way and is rarely forgotten by the avenged.

The animated striking snake—it really is striking, no?—communicates without saying a word, and we could all learn a lesson from its example. You’d warm up to it if it would let you.
