Remote control snake

Sssomething ssslithery ssslides towardsss you, you ssstart to feel ssscared, you ssstart to sssweat. We could go on like this all day but that would be annoying.

Instead, why not take a look at this amazingly life-like Radio-Controlled Rattlesnake? It moves like the real thing, has scaley skin like the real thing, a flickering tongue like the real thing and it even has a terrifying rattle like the real thing and if it bites you you'll die in writhing agony in sixty seconds. Oh no, hang on, ignore the last bit with all the biting nonsense. It won't actually discharge deadly poison into your ankle like the real thing, but that's an inaccuracy we're willing to cope with.

Because it's radio-controlled, you can look all innocent while unassuming colleagues get terrorised by this realistic faux-predator. Its design is based on the largest and most dangerous real-life rattlesnake, the Eastern Diamondback, so the likeness is pretty remarkable, and the body is made up of segments, making the movement convincingly slithery.

Due to this realism, the RC Rattlesnake can also serve an educational purpose, but chances are you won't get past frightening the life out of an elderly relative by hiding it in the breadbin.
