How it moves
Gears inside the box drive the snake's segments in sequence, sending a smooth S-curve rippling through its whole body.
Highlights
Lifelike slither: Sequenced segments ripple through the reeds — visitors will keep picking it up.
A scene in a box: Cattails and reeds rise from a decorated gearbox that doubles as the display base.
Hundreds of scales: Every body piece is dressed in its own wooden scales, and the chain of links lets the whole snake flow.

Questions
Do I need glue or tools?
The mechanism is designed to fit together by hand and holds by friction. Once the handle turns well, the guide has you fix the box's walls with the glue in the box (step 16); otherwise a tiny drop is only for a joint that works loose, never near anything that turns. The box also has a wax stick, sandpaper, gloves and the popping stick.
Is it suitable for children?
Recommended for 10+. Younger builders can enjoy it with an adult.
How long does it take?
About 3–5 hours. Pause and resume whenever you like — the online guide remembers where you stopped.
