The image is a close-up of a snake coiled up on a white surface. The snake appears to be a type of desert rattlesnake, with a distinctive pattern of brown and black stripes on its body. Its head is turned slightly to the side, and its tongue is flicking out as if it is tasting the air. Its body is slender and its tail is curled around its body, creating a curved shape. The background is plain white, making the snake the focal point of the image.
