WOW!
I remember seeing these when I was younger. Very small, can almost mistake it for a worm.
Definitely not to be put in a tank with larger fishes or frogs.
Cheers,

I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
I would have dried it for my laksa
why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

that my friend is a Brahminy Blind Snake, its fairly common here but rarely seen. Can be found in leaf litters
Brahminy Blind Snake
A 7 cm specimen found in secondary forest in the Portsdown Road area, Singapore
Family : TYPHLOPIDAE
Species : Ramphotyphlops braminus
Maximum Length : 20 cm
References : H1, H2
A very common, but rarely seen, species which spends much of its time burrowing in soil and leaf litter. They may be encountered when digging in soil, when turning over logs or rocks or after a heavy downpour when they are forced to the ground surface. This is one of the world's smallest snakes, rarely exceeding 20 cm in length.
The head is barely discernible from the body, and the tiny eyes appear as black dots. Virtually blind this snake can, however, distinguish between light and dark. The tail is short and blunt and bears a short, sharp spine. The Brahminy Blind Snake feeds on small invertebrates, mainly ant larvae and pupae. The species is the only known parthenogenetic snake i.e. all specimens are female and reproduction is asexual.
The species ranges throughout Southeast Asia, and has populated other parts of the world including the Middle East, Africa and the U.S.
can they not also dig or at least try to dig into your hand when you hold them? think i remember the feeling..lol.
tried keeping them when i was a kid but just don't know what they feed on.
needless to say....all died.
I think that they are wonderful... do they bite?
nope, they do not.... , they feel like worms though
Hmm... what are you doing with these anyway? Why not release them back into the 'wild'?
its already released, I have no way of feeding it properly unless I somehow have a termite nest of eggs..
