A photo of a venomous snake barely visible beneath dead leaves has reminded Aussies to be wary of the creatures.

The pictures was taken in bushland near the aptly named Snake Valley, west of Ballarat, on Wednesday.

It was found by Hodgson’s Snakes, a snake-catching business based out of Ballarat, who revealed the snake in question was a venomous lowland copperhead that can grow up to 1.7m-long.

The snake’s brown scales can barely be seen as it’s almost perfectly camouflaged among the layer of dead leaves on the ground.

Hodgson’s Snakes’ owner, Gianni Hodgson, told Daily Mail Australia they relocated the snake to the bush after being called by a nearby home-owner who found it underneath a pile of rubble on their property.
