Is this snake so rigid than there is no flexibility, or can it be manipulated with a string as to appear to raise it's head?

Unfortunately it is pretty rigid. I didn't realize that until I received it.

You can raise the head about 3" to 4" before the body lifts off the ground. Good enough to make people think it's alive.

The snake is pretty rigid. It's stiff enough to keep the rattle standing and to retain its shape. If you used a string to manipulate the head it would only move about an inch before it lifted the whole snake together.Hope that helps.Sincerely, Robert Oliver II

It's not too rigid. You should be able to raise its head with string, or fishing line. I bought it for my 5 year old grandson because he wanted a "real snake with fangs" - it is durable and it looks real.

I was wondering the same thing. I tried pulling on the head pretty hard and it wouldn't budge. It twists in both directions but does not move up and down at all. I'll have to try again when my son isn't using it (it's his bed time right now).

no- it is unresposive and my son thinks it is very nicely made. i believe this is made for more complicated tricks.

No, the wire is fairly stiff. I suppose you might be able to bend it with some force but it might break.

No, it's moveable and lifelike. Soft. Arms and legs themselves do not bend at the joints but are connected to the torso at shoulder and hip. A sweet toy.

The tubing is quite rigid. It does not bend or kink easily. I don't have the means to measure a quantifiable quantity to rigidity, but it definitely would take some effort to bend.

The neck is a flexible plastic, so it is adjustable and seems very sturdy. Have had no problems with it. Overall the most sturdy lamp of this type that I have had. looks like the plastic is a covering for the inner workings and does not support the lamp head.

It is "a little flexible within limits dictated by a pre-formed shape", you wouldn't be able to tie knots w/ the cord or fold it in half. It's somewhat flexible though.

Diana,The height can only be adjusted by bending the "neck" downwards or upwards, yes so the "neck" is flexible.

The clamp is made of delrin plastic, the octopus flexible snake portion is steel. It holds whatever position you twist it into very well.

It is hard plastic, but a little flexible.You can bend the tail a little, but it returns to its original position.The mouth is articulated, so you can put it to be opened or closed.

No flexible at all. The torso swivels as does the arms at the shoulder but 1 leg remains stationary and the bent leg moves only a little. You can not bend mannequin into a seated position. The head pivots a little but nothing dramatic. Elbows do not bend. 1 arm is straight and the other is bent as in the picture. She is made out of hard plastic. There is no give. I hope that helps you.

Yes, there is some side to side movement, but it appears there is some sort of spring inside that keeps the head straight. There is an allen or torks wrench opening on one side of the head so it would appear that you could tighten it if required. I haven't seen any problem with the head that would require tightening however.

Is it flexible at all? I want to bend it around a gentle curve, maybe equivalent to a 10-foot diameter circle.

It has some bend but it really is not flexible. you dont want to much flex or you can't put pressure to work the muscle.

There is no ball joint. The whole thing is one flexible snake, like on a gooseneck lamp. Stiffness-wise, it is pretty stiff; my personal feeling is that it would stand up just fine, but it might shake too much to be readable.

he whole aniMal is soft and just squishy. nothing is stiff so you can squish it and Move the legs
