- Nestled in the browning leaves and sticks is a highly-venomous reptile from QLD
- Can you find where this Australian snake is lurking in the photo?
With Autumn approaching, the scene of browning leaves that scatter the footpaths will soon be a daily occurrence.
But below the foliage could lurk a dangerous snake camouflaged in the fallen leaves.
The Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers have challenged their followers to spot a deadly and ultra-aggressive rough-scaled snake hiding beneath the foliage.

‘Time for another round of spot the snake. As usual, extra points for naming the species!’, the group posted online.
Facebook users were quick to try and identify where the snake was hiding and what type it was.
They varied from brown and black snakes to copperhead and the highly-venomous keel back snake.
Sarah Thompson said: ‘Bottom left corner under log with leaf litter. Coiled up. Not sure of species but dark brown in colour.’
Sam Johnson guessed the snake was ‘taken from the left of the shot. Maybe a whip snake,’ she said.
The snake is grey in colour and curled up, with its recognisable risen scales seen poking through the foliage

Snake catcher Lochi, who took the photo, confirmed the camouflaged was a rough-scaled snake, hiding underneath the palm tree near the browning leaf to the left.
The snake is grey in colour and curled up, with its recognisable risen scales seen poking through the foliage.
He said the snake was over four foot long and was found in the Sunshine Coast bush while he was out walking.
