    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!

    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

    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.
