Effects & Sequence

The design of Snake Bite relies on a sequence of colour‑coded sweeps that build intensity and culminate with a punchy finale. Expect the following pattern when ignited:

  1. Colour Sweep Format - Shots are arranged in sweeps (rows) of roughly five shots each; each sweep features a different dominant colour.
  2. Sweep 1 (Red) - Red bouquets with thick golden tourbillon tails that burst into gold brocade palms tipped with red dahlia stars.
  3. Sweep 2 (Blue) - Same structure but with blue bouquet stars and blue dahlia tips for contrast.
  4. Sweeps 3–5 - Continue through yellow, green and purple/plum sweeps, each mirroring the effect structure to create a pleasing, varied display.
  5. Finale Row - A grand volley featuring gold brocade mines, soaring tourbillon tails, and king‑crown style breaks tipped with bright white pistils to close the show.

Visual & Auditory Impression

Thanks to the huge 30mm tubes and the robust mix of effects, Snake Bite reads large in the sky. The fan format spreads the action across the horizon - excellent for audience coverage - while the alternating sweeps of colour keep viewers engaged. The finish / finale is loud and punchy, making it a satisfying highlight piece even within a larger sequence of firework effects.

Practical Considerations

  • Safety distance: Always maintain the manufacturer’s recommended safety zone (typically 25m or more). Ensure there are no nearby structures, trees or spectators within the fan spread.
  • Placement: The barrage is a fan‑style unit - allow adequate lateral space so that the spread doesn’t encroach on viewing areas or obstacles.
  • Sound: This is a high‑noise effect; consider neighbours, animals and local regulations before firing.
  • Value: Given its powder content and 30mm bore, Snake Bite offers good value for buyers seeking a compact but impactful barrage.
