No one could see the snake (me neither). So I asked Sky for the answer. It’s a black racer snake (she was out looking for rattlers). You can just about make it out if you click through to the large version of the photo. Sky said on other tw**ts that she heard it rustling in the leaf-litter before she saw it.
It's right above that yellow line. It's a long, shiny black snake moving right to left. pic.twitter.com/mKMTgXnwtp

I wasted all morning looking for a timber rattlesnake. Never again.
Not where I was looking.
Not enough detail in the photo to distinguish it from branches or debris. I can only take her word for it that that is a snake.
Not fair ,most of the photos like this you can click twice and get a bigger image ,not with twitter ,i would have got it straight away other wise .
If you click through to Twitter and then “view image” (right mouse button or a two-finger-tap on a touch pad), you get a fairly large magnification.
Hi ,that’s my excuse ,and i am sticking to it.
Too tough!
That thing’s invisible!
I blew the image up to fill my screen and then I could *just* make out above the yellow line a few disconnected bits of detail that might or might not have been part of a snake. I’m still not sure if I’m looking at the right bits.

If my life depended on spotting that snake, I would be dead.
I consider myself pretty bad at these, I only find it around half the time, but this one was just poor resolution and therefor almost impossible.
