AHEAD of summer many homeowners have been busy nurturing their lawns, but a viral photograph reminds us to be mindful of unexpected creatures. Can you spot the snake lurking in the grass? Gardeners mowing their lawns don’t expect to see a reptile known to slither in woods, meadows, and alongside streams. However, a post on Reddit’s Find The Sniper forum will make you take a closer look at each blade of grass.
Posting under the handle Existentialnightowl , the Redditor challenged puzzlers to “find the green snake.” You’ll need hawk eyes to solve the challenge in less than 45 seconds. The slender body of the green snake helps it to almost perfectly blend in with its surroundings.
Many people confessed they were stumped by the brainteaser and said it left them feeling “paranoid.” “That took me way too long,” one person said. “This subreddit makes me wonder how many snakes I've unknowingly walked very close to without realizing it! I can never spot them,” another wrote.
“Yup. Never walking on tall grass again,” a third commented. “This subreddit makes me paranoid that at any moment I'm about to step on a snake,” another said.
Have you found the snake yet? The various shades of green and the soil patches make the seek-and-find challenge deceptively tricky. Here’s a hint: The snake has its head sticking up among the blades of grass. If you need another clue, take a closer look at the right side of the photograph.
Do you think you’ve spotted the sna.
