Can you spot it? Herpetologist tweets shocking photo of hidden snake

In case you needed another reason to be excruciatingly aware when taking a walk through the woods, a tweet of a camouflaged Copperhead by Helen the Herpetologist may make your stomach turn.

Helen shares in her tweet that a colleague sent her the photo, challenging her to spot the brown, spotted venomous snake among a pile of leaves.

She, in turn, challenges her Twitter followers, writing, "Received this from a fellow HERper this morning. No caption needed, the task was implied: 'can you spot the snake?'"

After roughly 24-hours of letting people look, stress and guess, Helen lent a hand by outlining the covert reptile for her audience.

"If y'all haven't found it yet... Copperhead, aka Agkistrodon contortrix," she writes, "Cute but venomous, so no touchy!"
