Yes, not only are the markings stunning, it provides very effective camouflage in their natural habitat. It’s almost impossible to spot them on the jungle floor covered in similar patterned leaves under the mottled sunlight. In fact, once, I was in Oakland zoo and they had this specimen in an aquarium and they had set up the aquarium exactly like their habitat with the broad, patterned leaves. I could not spot the snake from 3 feet knowing it was there. It took me 30 seconds of intense searching from 3 feet away with my face against the glass to finally spot it!

I still can't convince myself that this guy is a living human.
