Folks there's no snake in the upper picture, even a blurry one would leave a light colored smudge. I copied both pictures to a picture viewer, the stick & leaves line up but there's nothing that might be a snake like the lower pic shows. I call Bull, it's clickbait.
You are correct Cluck. The original photo isn't as blurry. Even when I found the original, you still can barely see anything. Once people circled where the snake was, you can barely see anything at all. I don't think it says anything about a persons ability to spot a snake - it's just a bad zoomed out photo.
This is a cry for help. No one should own cold-weather dogs in a hot climate much less exercise them during the day. If the ice maker was not there, he might have died.
