OK. We have a burrowing snake here that rarely gets above 15 cm. It's an orange and black shovel nose snake. My cat used to bring them to me on a regular basis. She's now an indoor cat with no interest in going out, so I don't have any new pets.
I taught her 4 years ago that I was more pleased with live prey, so she would bring everything to me with no damage.

I wonder how they know it's a snake and not a worm. it really sounds extremely small. I have never heard of a snake that thin. It sounds like a toothpick. i wonder what the difference is between a snake and a worm? It really sounds like a worm. Some worms are that small. I know I have seen them several times.

I hope not, but I would not be surprise because if that snake bit you, you would probably think it is a bee sting and do nothing for the bite until it is too late. I mean they might think it was from an insect and try all sorts of antidotes. I will have to see that bbc news post.
