SSSPOT THE SNAKE

There’s a deadly python hiding somewhere in this picture – can YOU find it?

A DEADLY python has hidden itself perfectly in the trees, making it almost impossible to see – but can you find it?

The perplexing snap has left Facebook users baffled as it appears to be invisible.

The image was shared by Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers, a professional snake-catching service in Queensland, Australia.

Challenging fans on social media to the weekly game of ‘Spot the Snake Sunday’, a team member said: “Happy Sunday Snake Spotters! Did you think we would leave you after a busy week without a spot the snake...

“Find our healthy friend in this awesome release spot and tell us the species. Hint: This one loves to climb!”

Dozens of people took a crack at locating the serpent, but the task proved virtually impossible for some.

One person said: “OK they camouflage so nicely I could never find them.”

“I bet there’s more than one in there,” guessed another viewer.

Someone else commented: “Good job I live in England I can’t find it. I wouldn’t last long in your country.”

“I couldn’t even enjoy a visit there, my spider and snake phobias are real,” agreed another person.

Another terrified user added: “I’m never going bush again.”

The team finally shared the location of the hidden beast – slithering up a tree branch in the middle of the picture.

It was identified as a coastal carpet python – a large snake common in the area.

The reptile was later released back into the wild.

In June social media users struggled to spot a leopard hiding in the Aravali Hills in Jaipur, in the western Rajasthan state in India.

And in February, people were left baffled after being unable to spot a seven-foot python sizing up its prey on a family's porch.

The serpent looked ready to pounce while a terrified possum was curled up in a corner.
