The puzzle was shared on Reddit’s Find The Sniper forum, which has over 723,000 members.
“Find the copperhead,” said the photographer, posting under the tag Ammodramus_horridus.
The Redditor’s feet can be seen at the bottom of the photo as they stand on a pile of dead leaves.
However, the copperhead snake is almost impossible to spot.
Only those with 20/20 vision can find the reptile in 30 seconds or less.
The challenge went viral, with thousands admitting they struggled to find the snake in the photo.
Many commenters admitted they were surprised the Redditor didn’t step on the creature.
“It’s crazy how well the danger noodles fit together,” one person wrote. “It took me a while to find it, and that was zooming in.”
“I zoomed in and saw an eyeball,” said another. “I would definitely lose my life because of a dangerous noodle. I would step on the fat thing.”
“From now on, I’ll just assume that – wherever I am – a copper mine is somewhere nearby,” commented a third.
“It’s a great camouflage job by Mother Nature,” said a fourth.
Anyone can see fake grass, but you can have 20/20 vision if you can spot a fallen needle in less than 17 seconds
“Wow, how the hell did YOU find that copper head,” added another.
The copperhead snake is easy to overlook because its color is almost the same as the surrounding foliage.
Everyone can see the moss growing on the log and twigs as the plants sprout from the ground.
Here’s a hint: the snake is in the upper right corner of the picture.
If you need another clue, look for the snake’s head, not its body.
