Sky Stevens’s Tw*tter bio reads: “MSc in Wildlife Biology, currently field tech tracking timber rattlesnakes in Ohio.” And she spotted this snake. I can’t see it. Can you? Click on the pic to see a larger version.

I’ve been staring for five minutes, and I still can’t see it. Help?
Apparently there’s a black racer in there. According to the comments on the tweet. Might give you the location too.
Nope. Not a hope in hell. I’m dead. 😐
Also can’t get it. I’m usually good at spotting snakes, having lived in the subtropics in Australia for quite some years.
(It’s one of the few cultural skills that transfers well from Australia to Germany — having trained my eye to subconsciously scan the ground, the habit saved me many times from stepping in dog shit.)
I needed to biglify this one. Even having found it in the enlargement, I still can’t make it out in the smaller shot.
This would make an insomniac’s great 1000-piece puzzle.
Copied and pasted into an image manipulation, and biglified it bigly. Still cannot …
Well, I could not find the snake, so I did the next best thing–I found the tree!
I think I found it, but the lower res makes it hard to be sure.
I’ll just have to wait for it to move!
After the reveal, I don’t think anyone will think “Of course, why didn’t I see it?”
Aack! It’s huge! Glad I’m not there to step on it!
Dark and quite long and exactly where things which are photographed is supposed to be.
