The lizard appears to be a garter snake, with its head raised and its tongue flicking out. Its scales are a light brown color and its eyes are a deep black. Its tail is long and thin, and its claws are gripping the leaves and twigs. The grass is a vibrant green, and the leaves are a mix of yellow and brown.
