Can you spot the rattlesnake ‘hiding in plain sight’?
A rattlesnake removal company in Arizona posted an image of a Western diamondback rattlesnake that was camouflaged so well most commenters couldn’t find it.
Among the comments on the Facebook post by Rattlesnake Solutions:
“I would have gotten bit by now!”
“Me too.”
“Oh well, looks like I would’ve been bitten and dead because I couldn’t find it at all.”
“I don’t see it but I ripped this exact plant out of my yard because it is so messy and all things like to hide in it. My dog found a rattlesnake in it and alerted us.”
“Wow, I needed help finding it. I would have stepped on it.”
“I found it finally. I would’ve been tagged at least 4 times before I saw it though.”
“That was a tough one.”
“I don’t see it.”

Rattlesnake Solutions made it easier by posting a closeup shot, writing on Facebook, “Here’s a closer view of that last one—a Western diamondback rattlesnake hiding in plain sight with that awesome generalist camo. This one was found in a Scottsdale backyard.”
Rattlesnake Solutions is good about capturing and relocating the venomous reptiles, as stated on its website:
We really like snakes, even rattlesnakes. For as much as we’re into keeping people safe from snakes, we also love saving hundreds of snakes each year from shovels and shotguns. Every snake that we catch is captured with the absolute minimal stress to the animal possible, and relocated to great habitat where it can make a new life. We’re licensed by the AZ Game & Fish Department to provide wildlife relocation services, and we follow the rules absolutely to the benefit of homeowner and snake alike.
The company is also good at capturing great images of rattlesnakes.
