Abstract
A formable, deformable or shapeable toy snake or snake accessory is provided. The toy, snake can include one or more head weights, such as a plurality of weighted head beads. The body of the toy snake is deformable and is made of bendable material that may have elastic or springing properties. The tail of the toy snake can include a plurality of tail beads. At least some of the head weights may push the head forward when a user swings a central section of the snake with forward and then rearward acceleration. The head weight or weights cause a mouth of the toy snake to open as a weight of the head weight or weights pushes the head of the snake forward.

A deformable snake accessory comprising:
- a head, comprising a top portion and a bottom portion, wherein the top and bottom portions define a mouth and are movable relative to one another to adjust the mouth between an open position and a closed position;
- and
- a deformable body connected to the head, the body comprising a front section carrying the head and a central section extending rearward from the front section;
- Wherein
- the mouth is movable to the open position by applying a forward force followed by a rearward force on the central section of the body, such that the front section of the body and the bottom portion of the head are thrust forward relative to the central section of the body and the top portion of the head is moved away from the central section of the body and the bottom portion of the head;
- wherein
