You have 20/20 vision if you can spot the snake slithering on the ground in under 9 seconds

YOU have 20/20 vision if you manage to spot the stealthy snake on the ground in this image.

But the clock is ticking and you only have a very short nine seconds to complete the task.

Success, however, means you are a member of a select part of the population that has great visual acuity.

But there is no doubt you have your work cut out in this optical illusion.

Some might say it is an impossible challenge.

The sneaky snake is not easy to spot in its natural habitat.

Amidst the foliage, grass, sticks, and vegetation, this slippery customer blends in perfectly.

Camouflage serves this elongated reptile well.

Some might say 90 seconds might be a more realistic countdown.

You may be tearing your hair out in frustration, but it is there.

If you are out of time, we have circled the snake’s position in the picture below.

Maybe you want to challenge your visual abilities with some more optical illusions.

There are plenty to choose from.

In this image you have to find another snake, this time hidden among tortoises.

Or how about searching out the toad in this 20/20 vision test.

Good luck.
