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.

Wow that is really interesting I would never have known about this snake. Do you know that snakes still have still got sockets where there legs were supposed to be when God made them to crawl the land because Eve ate the apple.

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.
