The image shows a close-up of a snake coiled up on a sandy surface. The snake appears to be a viper, 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 tasting the air. The sand around the snake is a light brown color, and there are small rocks scattered around the base of the snake. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up at the snake's body.
