It IS scary! I’ve been staring at that photo on and off for three days now. I’ve probably spent two or three hours total, maybe a little more time than that, trying to trace that darn snake’s body.

At first I thought most of the tail-end and head areas were under sticks and leaves, and not visible. But now I think 99% of that animal is exposed to the camera!

The tail-end is easy: just follow the S-curve keeping your eye peeled for those leaf-shaped camouflaged markings. You can follow them almost all the way to the tip of its tail (the markings will be getting smaller, of course, because there is less real estate near the tail).

At the other end, things are a little trickier: Instead of diving under the leaves near that green leaf, his body makes a sharp left turn and heads due North for a few inches. If you look carefully, you can see where the animal’s neck narrows a bit just behind the jaw muscles, then flares out again over the muscles, and angles down toward its squarish nose, with some weird camo markings on top of its head.

That thing is a slithering NIGHTMARE!
