Safari Ltd. Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Figurine - Realistic 5.75" Model Figure - Educational Toy for Boys, Girls, and Kids Ages 3+

I found this product to be very lifelike and beautiful. It's great for indoor or outdoor use. I think it's great for adults or kids. I believe the quality of the product will endure many years to come.

This is my 7th Safari Ltd model. All snakes. I strongly suspect that, for safety reasons, they make their snake models large. The python, 2 boas, and anaconda models were nice, large, solid pieces of plastic and perfectly sized for display with 1:6 scale figures. But, the cornsnake I got, while sized about the same as them, being a very different and much smaller species, the model's scale was about 1:3. This rattlesnake is even more substantial and, depending on the age of snake you're thinking about, is 1:3 as well or even 1:2. I'd need a scale to confirm if it is indeed even heavier than the anaconda model, which was easily the largest before. But, it is massive. And, it is a thing of beauty! Being made in 2023, the difference between it at my 1995 King Cobra is clear. These latest releases very much benefit from that larger sizing by having plenty of room for great sculptural detailing and very realistic paint detailing. Including those visual traits that any science teacher is going to be discussing such as the heat-seeking pits on this rattlesnakes face and even more so on the emerald tree boa. That attention to educational details really makes the Safari Ltd models stand out from their competition.

Love this snake. Looks great in my yard.

While I would have liked to have it laying position, the item itself was what I wanted to compare with the eastern diamondback I have for teaching.

Love this so realistic, my sons room is western and it really fit in.

Fantastic

This will fit in the palm of your hand. It is well-made, but it is shrinkflation. Is well-made I like it. I will keep it but holy cow if this thing was 75% bigger, it would be awesome. It is about the size of an apple $30 for this tiny thing. Hmmmmmm

Cute, small, and almost convincing.
