It looks like a worm, but it’s a snake!
This is the same kind of snake that I caught as my first Texas snake, which was kind of anti-climactic. I had always dreamed of giant rattlesnakes and such, and wound up with a snake that looked like a worm instead.
The Texas Blind Snake (Leptotyphlops dulcis) is an amazing little snake. It spends a lot of its life underground, so it is rarely seen. When it is seen, many often mistake it for an actual worm.
Unlike the Worm Snakes that I am familiar with which mostly eat worms, the Texas Blind Snake lives off of termites and ant larvae. I also learned something incredible about it when I was researching it, but to learn what that was, you’ll have to watch the video.
The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.
