The Internet Is Going Crazy Trying To Find The Camouflaged Snake In This Picture – Can You Find It?

A herpetology student from Florida named Helen just shared a photo of a snake being so blended into nature, it’s a real struggle to find it. The picture was posted with the following caption: “Received this from a fellow HERper this morning. No caption needed, the task was implied: “can you spot the snake?”

So, what are you waiting for – will YOU take the challenge and find the hiding reptile? Helen was kind enough to give a hint: “If y’all haven’t found it yet… Copperhead, aka Agkistrodon contortrix. Cute but venomous, so no touchy!”

Seriously, this snake is the master of camouflage!

I found it within 30 seconds, but that was sheer luck. Pretty sure I wouldn't be able to spot that copperhead if I was actually on the scene.

I've stepped right over a GIANT snake before without ever realizing it was there. He was dark green and the grass was bright but my mind processed it as a stick until I heard my husband laughing at me. Then I looked down and was startled for a sec, until I saw that it was just a 6 foot long, thicker than my arm, but harmless ratsnake.

I'm partially color blind, so it was easier for me to spot camouflage here. But there is one thing that has me worried. Where is the snake's head? That is the last thing a snake would cover up before hiding the body.
