THE WILD-MAN'S WILD FRIENDS VIDEO SERIES - EPISODE 34 - TEXAS BLIND SNAKE
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.

All Hail the mighty Snake Wrangler @papa-pepper ! Great video, thanks.
LOL - Thank you!
My eldest granddaughter used to catch these and torment her younger sister with them. Had to buy a snake book so she would not catch the venomous ones! Her greatest days were out side with a fine tip marker so she could write her initials on the bellies of every thing she caught before she released them!
Now that's my kind of snake !! LOL! 🐍🐍🐍🐍

It look like -texas-blind-snake is not degerious.. can it kill humans?
I found one many years ago (in Tamworth, Australia) while digging in my garden and like you I first thought it was a big worm. When I picked it up I noticed it didn't feel like a worm and when I looked closer I saw it's little tongue poke out. Before that I didn't know they existed. Amazing little snakes.Unfortunately, I've never seen one since.
