We can improve image detection by following the recommended image size guidelines or by using crop hints to make the snake more dominant in the image. Google Cloud Vision API is powered by machine learning and misses like this (snake) is expected on the early stages of the API. Vision API improves over time as new concepts are introduced and accuracy is improved.
