That's not a worm - it's a snake!

I have these living in my yard! They're called Brahminy Blind Snakes. Watch and enjoy! :D

Wow it's so tiny. How big will they get? What do they eat?

Adults get about 5 or 6 inches long (so the young ones are really tiny!). From what I've read, they're all females - no males :O

How???:confused:

Parthenogenesis - no males are needed for these tiny snakes to reproduce. All they need to do is reach adult size, and they start making baby snakes (which will all be more females). They eat ants and ant larvae.

You are SO lucky!!! I WISH I had these here :( I have always wanted one haha.

Wow cool! Thanks for sharing.

So tiny!!!!!

thats awesome weird little things but still awesome!

How long will they live? I have plenty of ants here for that thing to eat.

ooo eats ants... give me 100 to put in the yard. lol

They dont really eat adult ants, they prefer larva (and they act like little vacuums when they find them). Great little snakes though. Ive kept them from time to time.

Thats perfect. I have millions (it seems) of the smallest ants in the world that i cant find a way to get rid of.

oh wow now i want one im very happy i know what they are now becuase if i had seen one without knowing it woulhv became fishing bait :rofl: gotta pay more attention to worms now a days lol:D
