At the heart of the Pharaoh’s Snake is a chemical called mercury(II) thiocyanate.

The reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat, which helps sustain the continuous breakdown of the compound.

Instead of using hazardous chemicals, the carbon snake relies on everyday, non-toxic ingredients like sugar and baking soda.
