Black Snake Photographed Slithering Over Sniper's Gun Barrel in Exercise

An epic photo surfaced of a black snake slithering over a sniper's gun barrel.

The photo surfaced during a training exercise at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. It contained an image of a black snake slithering across a sniper's gun barrel way out in the woods where the black snake is very common.

The sniper, however, never flinched. It's how the Alabama National Guard trains.

Snipers sometimes sit for hours on end without moving an inch. Similarly, this unique scenario is no different.

Thankfully, the snake isn't venomous, though. This is nothing more than a southern black racer, which is common to wood lots in states like Alabama, Florida and Georgia. The snake never knew the sniper was there.
