The snake was a Christmas present for our 2-year son. He has become aware of the giant snakes through visits to the zoo and now has its own. The snake is dragged through the house, despite its considerable length. She feels great, the colors are strong and in accordance with the illustration. No irritating odor and the eyes are fixed "mounted" - sewn / secured. They are - in my opinion - "suck fest" and not "ingestible". We are thrilled and our son anyway!
