Big find (not really)...
Tiny, in fact! Leptotyphlops..
.

.

.
.. size reference..
.

.
.. neat stuff and fun to see. Around here these days we mostly encounter the Flower Pot snakes Ramphotyphlops .. I don't have any impression that the one is stressing or replacing the other.. though I can say I've seen the non-native ones in Fire ant nests!.. and never the native blind snakes..
.
Here's the illegal aliens..

Interesting critters.

Call border patrol!!
Those are really neat little guys, Gus. I'd love to find a blind snake in the field one of these days. Thanks for sharing.
