It was hiding under some rubble we were moving.
Long Tailed Worm Snake for those that wanted to know. I don't have the Scientif name with me right now will get it if you want.

Re: Giant from Africa
There's something you don't see every day. It looks just like the blind snakes (Leptotyphlops dulcis) we have here in Texas.

When they open their mouth at you, probably not a worm. Also, the don't exude worm-slime. Their skin is dry and scaley just like any other snake.
Here in Kentucky, we have a species also known as a worm snake. I wonder if they are related some how?

Re: Giant from Africa
What an adorable little snakey.
Thanks for posting the picture of him, must be one of the world's smallest.
What is the world's smallest snake anyway? Anyone here know? Telefrag, Morti? Come on. Scientific name and all.
Cute elephant. I love them but am really scared of them...much respect!!!

Re: Giant from Africa
Ok this is Leptotyphlops longicaudus They average on 20cm and max at about 25.5cm The smallest snake I can find in the books on snakes of southern Africa is the Southern Forest Worm Snake it averages on 9cm but that is just here there must be smaller some were else in the world.
