Snake crowns and headbands are made from a mix of materials. The most commonly noted materials are polyester, metal, plastic and vinyl, though individual items may combine several of these.
Some snake crowns include interactive or special features, such as a concealed water bulb and tubing that can spray water, posable snakes, interior pockets, and adjustable elements for a better fit.
Common decorative colors and finishes include metallic green and gold. At least one plush-style option lists purple/blue tones.
