GARDENING: Brahminy Blindsnake (Indotyphlops brahminus)... One Of The World's Smallest Snakes!

Brahminy Blindsnake (Indotyphlops brahminus)
One Of The World's Smallest Snakes!

 

22 May 2021, NS Amoranto Park...

Nagdidilig ako at NS Amoranto Park two days ago. While moving some of the rocks under the plumeria, nakita ko may mga itim na earthworm and super shiny, they looked unusual. When the rocks were moved, mabilis sila like lightning darting around. Anyway, neighborhood parks are very rich ecosystem and also enriching to the mind, we should appreciate and take care of it as residents.

Brahminy Blindsnake (Indotyphlops braminus) is one of the world's smallest snakes and are NON-VENOMOUS. These tiny snakes do not bite in defense. If uncovered, brahminy blindsnakes will typically try to escape by burrowing. If captured, they may press the pointed but harmless tail tip against the attacker, and they may release foul-smelling musk from two glands in the base of the tail. Brahminy blindsnakes are not dangerous to people or pets. Their diet consists of the larvae, eggs, and pupae of ants and termites.

So lucky to spot this in the wild...

PLEASE KINDLY 

DO NOT HARM 

AND JUST

LEAVE THEM ALONE.
