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.

URL: customercare.battatco.com. We understand if you do not wish to troubleshoot to get your toy working and invite you to return the toy through amazon for a refund. Thank you.

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.

This promising toy doesn’t work

This is a promising toy - that unfortunately doesn’t work. I bought one and it just switched itself off after a few seconds. The product support via the manufacturer didn’t respond to me but Amazon sent me a further remote control snake. It also didn’t work - exactly the same thing; just turns itself off after a few minutes. So I had to return them both and now I’m snakeless!

Divertentissimo e sorprendentemente realistico!

Ho acquistato il Terra by Battat Serpente Telecomandato Boa dell'Albero di Smeraldo per fare uno scherzo in famiglia e devo dire che ha superato le aspettative. Il movimento è molto realistico: scivola sul pavimento in modo fluido e il telecomando risponde bene ai comandi, rendendo il gioco semplice e divertente anche per i bambini.I dettagli del serpente sono curati, con colori vivaci e un aspetto abbastanza realistico da suscitare qualche reazione sorpresa! È robusto e sembra costruito con materiali di buona qualità. Le batterie durano a sufficienza per sessioni di gioco prolungate.Perfetto sia come giocattolo sia per scherzi innocenti durante feste e occasioni speciali. Consiglio l'acquisto a chi cerca un regalo originale e divertente per bambini e adulti.Funziona meglio sulle superfici lisce rispetto ai tappeti spessiNel complesso, un prodotto ben realizzato e molto divertente che ha regalato tante risate a casa nostra!
