The image shows a close-up of a snake coiled up on the ground. The snake appears to be a rattlesnake, with its body facing towards the right side of the image. Its head is turned to the side, and its tongue is flicking out as if it is about to strike. The body of the snake is covered in a pattern of small, irregularly shaped scales, which are a light brown color. The scales are arranged in a symmetrical pattern, with some overlapping each other. The ground is dry and barren, with small rocks and shrubs scattered around. The background is out of focus, making the snake the focal point of the frame.
