Can you spot the snake in this photo? Jerry David of Texas was out in the woods one day when he spotted something well-hidden on the ground. His photo of a camouflaged snake has been passed around the Internet, going viral when Twitter user Helen was sent the photo by a herpetologist friend. Helen is studying snake biology at FIT.

Herpetologists, or reptile and amphibian scientists, often make a game of heading out into nature to find species in the wild. Oftentimes, “herping” is done at night with headlamps. Snake hooks are used by trained individuals in the field to better inspect the animals, which are then left to be on their merry way.

Obviously it is well camouflaged, and best guess is you’re looking for something that’s a light brown color, blending in with the leaves.

Want a hint? Look in the center of the photograph.

Still no luck?
