Are you serious? I've stared at that enlarged photo and still can't find the snake even with the help of the diagram in the actual article........
I guess I'm too used to spotting snow snakes here in the winter in Michigan.........
That particular snake is common around here. Those leaves and plants look exactly like the trails on my daughter’s land.
We were hiking there last summer and ran into a copperhead sunning himself on the trail.
Son-in-law shot it. They have rattlesnakes and cottonmouths as well..................
I used to live in the Canal Zone. On a hike one of my friends told me that there was a vine viper just in front of me. I looked and looked, but couldn’t see it - - - until he poked it with a stick.
Damned thing was three feet from me and I couldn’t see it, even with the warning.
Look for the crooked line of Vs near the head. The snake jumps out.
