A snake has hidden itself so well in between a pile of leaves that social media users have been left stumped trying to figure out where it is.
The Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers asked viewers to spot the snake after sharing a photo on their Facebook page on Sunday.
The post was flooded with different guesses before snake catcher Stuart McKenzie revealed the yellow faced whip snake had camouflaged itself into the bush.

'Let's be honest what better way is there to pass time whilst in isolation than a game of Spot the Snake!' he wrote along the post.
Mr McKenzie told Daily Mail Australia the whip snakes were one of the hardest to catch.

'We know they're going to be so difficult to find. Not only are they a skinny snake but they're super quick hence their name whip,' he said.
'They're very hard to find (when called to a job).'

People were still stumped as to where the snake was until Mr McKenzie zoomed in to show the body of the snake
'They're not considered to be that dangerous to humans but most people (bitten) will get pretty severe pain and some nausea,' Mr McKenzie said.
The snake catcher also said due to the small size of whip snakes, they were often found inside people's homes.
'They do have the ability to squeeze into small gaps,' he said.
'Whip snakes seem to be the least defensive, they will always try to get away and dodge you.'
Mr McKenzie said whip snakes are often mistaken with brown snakes - one of Australia's most deadly reptiles.
