Using the Robo Alive King Cobra is easy. Just turn it on and watch it slither around with its realistic tongue - flicking. For pranks, you can hide it under the dining table or put it in a friend's backpack. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from water and rough surfaces. If it stops working, check the batteries. Always supervise children aged 3 and up when they are playing with it to avoid any potential choking hazards from small parts.
