Snap dragons are like a hybrid of paddles and dragon tails. Instead of a rolled up hide to mimic a whip, this toy is two accent hides sandwiching a thick buffalo hide. The result is a flexi-paddle like dragon tail that delivers concentrated sting. These are great toys for small play spaces where single tails would be unwieldy.
This Snap Dragon features a Green Stingray hide with an inlay detail on the handle.
Stingray is a very intense and exotic hide. It is covered in calcified nodules that feel like rough sequins. I purposely put the "eye" of the stingray (the thickest nodules of the hide) at the tip because I'm a sadist enabler (asshole). The stingray really can do all the work for the impact. It doesn't take much force to deliver the pain, and the edges are sharp and may leave scratches with impact. Consider this a far more advanced, heavy hitting Snap Dragon /Dragon tail.
I would recommend this toy for experienced players due to it's potential for high intensity sting and marks. You have been warned.
Total length of the toy is 18inches, with the tail section being 10 inches. The handle is an oak core. The paddle section is 16oz (6.4mm) of stacked vege-tan cowhide, stingray, and green cowhide.
