I gave myself about 5 seconds and did not see it.
Walking a trail you need about 1/2 second or less if you are not specifically looking.
I think most of us would not see it unless it was moving or the contrast change was more significant.
NOW, its much easier to hide something in a photo. Especially with color contrasts and how a 2D shape turns into a 3D shape while you are moving.
Much like animals see things more on movement than color.
A person walking can tell the difference if the perspective changes between a flat leaf and a leaf shaped twig (snake) when you are moving if your eyes focus long enough and you are close enough. If the snake is the one to move, you will spot it quickly.
I see deer on the side of the road ALL THE TIME. its cause I'm looking. Before I hunted, I rarely saw them.
I would have to go with "most of us would not see it". and the snake could decide our fate.
As Tallen points out, tall boots are more effective than our eyes!
