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.

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!

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.

Damn, that Owl must be really smart to do that. It's kind of what we do when we live in the country, get a Cat to get rid of mouses, just on a different scale.
Love your videos Papa! I'm really thankful, especially for this video. It has inspired me to do a post all centered around it. If you'd like to check it you. Here it is.
Thanks again Papa. You've really inspired me to keep Steeming on! :)

It looks just like an earthworm would have never guessed it was a snake. I think the owl eventually eats it after it eat the nest bugs.

Really amazing to hear about how clever the owls can be though! using snakes to clean their nest, lovely idea!

We onced lived on a coffee farm in Costa Rica. Our cats would bring these snakes (or similar) in to us as "gifts". It was not unusual to find them in one's bed or shoes...
