You have 20/20 vision if you can spot the copperhead snake hiding in the dead leaves in under 30 seconds
A COPPERHEAD snake lurking in plain sight has proven difficult to spot even for the most sharp-eyed puzzlers.
Can you spot the copperhead snake among the dead leaves?
The brainteaser was shared on Reddit’s Find The Sniper forum, which has over 723,000 members.
“Find the copperhead,” the photographer said posting under the handle Ammodramus_horridus.
The Redditor’s feet can be seen at the bottom of the snap as they stand on a pile of dead leaves.
However, the copperhead snake is almost impossible to spot.
Only those with 20/20 vision have been able to find the reptile in 30 seconds or less.
The challenge went viral with thousands of people admitting they were struggling to find the snake in the photo.
Many commenters confessed they were surprised the Redditor didn’t step on the creature.
“It’s crazy how good the danger noodle blends in,” one person wrote. “It took me a while to find it and that was zooming in.”
“I zoomed in and saw the eyeball,” another said. “I definitely would have lost my life to the danger noodle. I would have stepped on the fat thing.”
“From now on I’m just going to assume that – wherever I am – there’s a copperhead somewhere nearby,” a third commented.
“That is a superb camouflage job by Mother Nature,” a fourth said.
“Wow, how in the hell did YOU find that copperhead,” another added.
The copperhead snake can be easily overlooked as its color is almost the same as the surrounding leaves.
Everyone can see the moss growing on the tree log and twigs, while plants are sprouting up from the ground.
Here’s a hint: The snake is towards the top right of the image.
If you need another clue, look for the snake’s head rather than its body.

Can you spot the two dogs hiding on the beach?
You’ll need to set a timer to see if you can beat the 21-second record.
One person said they were convinced that only one dog was in the photo after struggling to spot the other.
