She Took This Picture, But Once She Zoomed In She Froze

She visited her grandparents in Arizona over Thanksgiving, and they went hiking one morning along with her family.
When they got to the peak of the trail, she saw a cluster of big rocks and realized she had to climb them.

Her parents were kind enough to advise her to be cautious when she left her phone and water bottle with them. Since the possibility of something hazardous concealed in the rocks hadn’t occurred to her, she proceeded with extreme caution as she ascended. She hoped she might be able to see something if it were close by, but thankfully, she didn’t.
She clearly didn’t feel as self-assured as before after viewing this snapshot.

The aforementioned photo was uploaded on January 10, 2018, by the Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7 Facebook page. It was a challenge for the followers of Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers to see if they could locate the snake in the photo.

You should examine this image: Is that a serpent you see?
Pay serious attention, it’s cleverly concealed!

It may be anywhere—beneath the mud, among the woods, or even under the rocks!
If you’re as confused as the rest of us, here’s an image of the snake you’re seeking.

Pythons typically have a beige background with darker markings. Definitely not something I would like to encounter while enjoying a park day!
Put your worries to rest; the majority of individuals were unable to locate the serpent either. No matter how thoroughly they combed this photograph, no snakes of any type were detected.

After twenty minutes of staring at this image, I still didn’t get it. Even after running my finger over the whole picture and looking in every conceivable crevice, I couldn’t find any sly snakes.
Everyone has an opinion on where the snake could be, but which one is correct?

There might be a million snakes if everyone had their say!
In order to examine it more closely, let’s divide the image into four equal halves.

Scan sequentially through all four corners. Were you able to spot the serpent?
All right, here’s a hint for those of you who are impatient: In the third quadrant, the serpent is concealed.

This area of the image conceals the carpet python.
Pay close attention; finding it is still challenging, even though you are aware that it is here!

Alright, are you prepared to discover the snake’s exact hiding place?

See below for the solution!

I see now! Coiled up at the base of the hand.

Circumscribing the snake doesn’t make it any easier to spot! That disguise works.

While some were relieved to learn they had been correct the whole time, others persisted in wondering where the snake had gone.

Some folks apparently saw the snake without assistance, which baffles me. They either know more about snakes than I do or have eyesight that exceeds my own.
