Q: I have replaced the batteries in both the snake and the remote control, and the snake is still no longer working. Is there any way to fix this? We've only had the snake a few weeks.
submitted by Kerri - 1 year ago
A: Hi Kerri. Once the batteries have been changed, depending on the version of your toy, please make sure to turn the snake and remote switches to the On/Play position. The remote needs to be aimed towards the snake continuously during play time. Thank you. The Battat Team
submitted byBattat Team - 1 year agoBrand expertA: There are 3 AAA batteries in the snake. Remove the 2 tiny philips screws on the underside of the head and slide apart. 2 batteries underneath and one on top. If you only replace 2 it wont work.

Q: What tool do I require to replace the batteries?
submitted by Seth - 2 years ago
A: Hi Seth. Please use a small screwdriver to undo and remove the battery cover. An instruction sheet can be downloaded on the Official Terra by Battat site. Thank you. The Battat Team

Q: Snake isn't working - we replaced all of the batteries, and the snake still doesn't move with the remote. Is there a fix for this?
submitted by Kerri - 1 year ago
A: Hi Kerri G. Once you have changed the batteries, press the On/Off button on the bottom of the snake to turn the toy on. Then make sure to keep the remote pointed toward the snake while in use. Thank you. The Battat Team

It’s a lot of fun for our 6 year old to play with! But it’s so inconvenient to change the batteries. The controller battery is easy to access. The batteries in the snakes body are not so easy. The batteries lasted about a month.
Controller should just have 1 button.

It has a controller that indicates you can control which direction the snake goes but it doesn’t matter which you press because you’d get the same result. Other than that it’s ok.

They enjoyed playing with until the battery died. We tried to change batteries and we couldn’t get it open so less than a month after we bought it they no longer can play with it and it’s a useless item that we threw away. Do not buy I reiterate do not buy

Ok for snakes that aren't working after you change the batteries, make sure you replace all 3 batteries in the snake, 2 on bottom, one on top. If you can't figure out how to open the snake do the following: To open the battery compartment use a size 1 screw driver (from a glasses or electronics set) to loosen the two screws on the bottom of the head at the base where the head attaches to the body. Wiggle it open and you will see two AAA batteries. Replace those but then flip the snake over and you will see a third battery that needs replaced. Download the instructions sheet on this page to see a diagram.

It was fun for a while, then my child got bored with it. The snake slithers from side to side when it moves. You turn left and right to turn it around. Fun little remote controlled toy for someone who likes snakes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son absolutely loved playing with this remote control snake. It moves like a real snake. It came with batteries in the snake and the remote. If you get this just make sure to have some backup batteries because they go dead fast. The snake is fast and it moves in all directions. I’d definitely purchase this as a gift.

With no way to hard reset the remote this toy quickly becomes dysfunctional.

Hi there - We are sorry to hear about your experience with the Terra Remote Control Snake. We are wondering if you tried to remove the batteries and replace them with new brand name ones. Usually that is all it takes to get this creepy toy slithering again. If that doesn't work, we suggest that you take it back to Target for an exchange. (Target makes it easy!) Sincerely, Team Battat

This toy was fun until the batteries die in the snake portion of the toy. It is impossible to get them out. I tried 4 different screwdrivers and the screws are put in so tight you can can even get them to budge at all. Had it too long to return, so I guess it will end up in a landfill.
