snake?

    Not sure what is the "light" thing, does not seem like a bug.

    Is this a folded snake in the middle, or just a funny piece of wood?

    The light thing looks like a spider to me. The middle seems to be filled with leaf litter of various sorts, I don't see a snake in it.

    No bother! I'm afraid I don't see a snake in that one either -- I might have missed it though, what area of the video are you looking at?

    Bottom of the tree...no worries, I may be imagining. Under magnifying glass it looked like slightly moving, but it might be a game of light and shape producing optical illusion.

    I came to a conclusion myself that the shape and the pattern just remind me of the vipers in my surrounding, so my eye probably reacts on it.

    Is the set of videos sorted in alphabetical order (following each other in the continuous time sequence?)

    I watched these videos in order from "zrk" until "zrv" and now I am very confused about the snake shape. It is visible in "k" and "m", (and I think there is a frog at "zrs")

    Usually the videos are ordered 'alphabetically' (using both letters and numbers) but the current data set is not ordered 'rigorously' that way. If you want to see the previous/following video, you have to search for it by trying individual combinations. Sometimes it takes a while.

    I don't see the snake or the frog. 😦 In these low-res videos, there seem to be things moving all over the place. Usually just a technical issue. But it's good that you're looking so closely. That's how you'll see a snake, when there is one! Snakes move very slowly, or not at all, and can be on the ground or in trees. Plus, in the night time videos, you'll usually see eyeshine, from one or both eyes. Same with frogs, but they also blink sometimes, which really helps spot them. Keep looking!
