The image shows a snake coiled up on a black asphalt surface. The snake appears to be a garter snake, with a brown and black patterned body and a long, slender tail. Its head is turned to the side, and its tongue is flicking out as if it is tasting the ground. The ground is covered in small rocks and twigs, and there are a few small plants scattered around. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up at the snake.
