Can you spot the rattlesnake hiding after a fresh rain?

Rain has flushed some rattlesnakes out of their winter hiding areas, forcing them to find new areas. Wherever they end up, they can be very difficult to spot.

An Arizona company that relocates rattlesnakes reported by concerned citizens has been busy because recent storms have flushed several snakes from winter hiding spots.

Rattlesnake Solutions on Thursday shared the accompanying image showing one such reptile: a western diamondback rattlesnake hiding in a new and “less ideal” spot near a Tucson residence.

Can you spot the rattlesnake in the Rattlesnake Solutions image accompanying this post? (Answer provided in the link below.)

It’s a difficult quiz (for many) because only a small part of the rattlesnake is visible in the vegetation.

Dozens of followers chimed in on the Rattlesnake Solutions Facebook post.

A sampling:

– “Nope. I’d be dead.”

– “Wow! Best camouflage ever.”

– Took me about 5 minutes, that’s crazy camo.”

– “That was tough. Excellent camouflage.”

– “I finally found it.”
