There’s a hidden creature — among smallest of its kind — in zoo photo. Do you see it?

One tiny animal at a Massachusetts zoo posed a tough challenge: Finding the creature concealed in its hiding spot.

The Franklin Park Zoo in Boston asked its followers on Facebook to spot a Kenyan sand boa in a picture of its enclosure. The zoo’s “tropical forest resident” might have been difficult to find for some, but can you find Kevin the Kenyan sand boa?

The guesses began to flood the comments — and many missed the little snake.

“Inside the wall hole,” one commenter said.

“Nope — sorry!” the zoo replied.

“Curled up behind the log?” another person asked.

“Nope ... keep looking!” the zoo answered.

After throwing out other speculative hiding spots, a few users wrote that they gave up. One person admitted that she “had to cheat and read others’ comments.”

“I could not, hiding in plain sight, that’s awesome!” another commenter wrote.

There were also quite a few users who found the boa — a handful boasting they had found the snake immediately. Some had mixed reactions to spotting the reptile, ranging from one person saying “Yuk” to another commending the boa on its “nice (camouflage).”

Nearly a day later, the zoo returned to the comments to reveal where Kevin was hiding: near the middle of the pebble box.

Burrowing under rocks and sand is common for a Kenyan sand boa, as they spend most of their time hidden, the zoo said in its post. Their eyes are on top of its head to make it easier for the snake to see other animals go by while they remain buried, according to the zoo.

Kenyan sand boas are one of the smallest boas in the world, growing up to 25 inches, according to the Lehigh Valley Zoo in Pennsylvania. They are a carnivorous, nocturnal snake found throughout Eastern Africa, the zoo said.

They are also a common snake owned as a pet, as many of the boas raised in captivity as “very docile,” according to Petco.
