The Reddit site shared a photo of a patch of dry land that hides a cunning snake.
At first glance, you might think there aren’t any reptiles hiding in plain sight in the video, but take a closer look.
If you can’t see a camouflaged snake, we can reveal that it’s curled up in the middle of dry grass.

That was echoed by Teach-Piece, who added: “My heart started beating faster. It’s not fun.”
Bronze-headed copper blends seamlessly into its surroundings and becomes visible only when viewed closely.
The eastern copperhead, which is a viper, is a venomous snake, although its venom is relatively mild for humans.
It is endemic to North America, but related species of copper viper can also be found in Australia.
Snake venom is hemolytic, meaning it breaks down blood cells to kill its prey.
If you are unfortunate enough to be bitten by a copperhead snake, remove any restrictive or tight clothing or jewelry to allow room for swelling.
Stay still and calm to prevent the poison from traveling through your body. Make sure the bite remains below the level of the heart.
Get medical help right away by calling 911 or calling the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222 for help.
