A MIND-BOGGLING brainteaser is full of suspense and potential danger.
A snake is on the loose, and spotting it in under nine seconds could mean you have excellent vision.
Redditor Xxbleckyxx posted the optical illusion on the social media platform.
They asked puzzle lovers to “find the snake.”
At first glance, the woodsy scene appears to be innocuous, with brush and plants surrounding the trees.
There are also plenty of sticks on the ground, which makes it difficult to spot a slithering creature hiding in plain sight.
Several Redditors who tried to find the snake shared their thoughts in the comments section.
“Sorry, but you’re getting pushed down so I can have a better chance at escape,” one joked.
Xxbleckyxx gave a tip on what type of snake it could be.
They speculated that it could be a copperhead snake, which is venomous.
“I’m not positive, but it sure looks like it, based off the coloration and the slant of the nose,” they said.
Another Reddit user came to the same conclusion.
“It’s always [a copperhead] or a cottonmouth,” they commented on the snake.
“I take it they’re mad common in some parts of the states.”
If you’re still having trouble nailing the sneaky snake, divert your eyes to the bottom right corner of the picture.
The serpent is slithering among the leaves and sticks in the forest.
If one brainteaser wasn’t enough, another has us looking at the sky rather than on the ground.
In the starry night picture, there is one four-pointed star among several five-pointed stars.
Spotting the special star in under 30 seconds makes you a winner.
We can also see gray and bluish clouds adorning the night’s sky.
There’s a crescent moon with a greenish hue to it.
An aurora is adorning the evening, but we are still looking for the four-pointed star.
If you haven’t spotted it yet, check out the right side of the picture.
