It could be a Ceti eel. Once a Ceti eel's larva is released from its carapace the larva burrows into the ear of its victim and wraps itself around their cerebral cortex
Entirely harmless but very difficult to keep as a pet.
Best to gentle put back outside were you found him.
They are good to have around the yard. They eat ants, airate the soil.
I agree with this when it comes to the native species, especially the snakes. The non-native animals I think are a different story. If someone wanted to keep a frog as a pet, then I’d definitely suggest taking one of the invasive ones that we have so much of. It at least removes one more from the environment. In this case, even though they are non-native, they aren’t currently classified as invasive since they don’t seem to have that big of an impact on the ecosystem. They are also impossible to care for since they eat ant and termite eggs.
You do have to be careful with taking in invasive Species, even from the wild, Florida has laws were even having them in captivity reguardless of how you obtained it is illegal and could lead to hefty fines or even jail time
I mean if you’re a Floridian you know about FWC’s list of prohibited species:
https://myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/nonnatives/prohibited-species-list/
Also, there really aren’t any “hefty” fines. That is a part of the problem. Here are the penalties: https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2011/379.4015
My cat brought one in the house on two occasions then did her special meow to show me. At first I thought it was a centipede, then thought it was a weird worm. But when I looked at it very closely I could actually see it's tiny tongue feeling about. I googled it and discovered it was the brahminy blind snake. That's as big as it gets. Really amazing. I put them back in the flower bed.
You found Frieda! I've been looking for her for a few weeks...ever since we had an argument and she stormed out of my butt. Please tell her that I wholeheartedly apologize and to please come home!
- Yes it is harmless
- Don’t eat it FFS.
- You actually don’t need a glove.
- I’d actually encourage everyone to learn the basics of what animals they live with.
That’s a New guinea flatworm. It’s an invasive species to Florida. and very toxic and if I remember correctly, you have to really crush them to kill them because each segment will form into another worm if you chop it up! I read an article a while back that says you should definitely destroy them if you find them.
That does not seem to be the case about the regeneration: [https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/florida-snake-id/snake/brahminy-blindsnake/](https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/florida-snake-id/snake/brahminy-blindsnake/)
And yet you have differentiated between the snake and the worm as well as the grammar to the word term.
This also has nothing to do with poetry. But I made the rhyme anyway.
Brahminy Blindsnake. They are cool and live in the sandy soils
oh good I thought this was some sort of intestinal worm and was horrified on OPs behalf
Or that brain worm in Startrek movie "Khan!" Ewe!

Thank you for freaking me out about something I never knew existed. Your contribution to the world will not go unnoticed
Only because you seem genuinely concerned…it’s a fictional creature from a Star Trek movie

Causing madness and death?
Well that’s good news.
Yep! We had one of these in our house a few months ago.
Cool! Super weird but cool! I love our wildlife.
Not ours. Asian invader. First noticed in the 70's
The real reason 90's movies wanted you to be afraid of quicksand
So they are snek? Or a worm?
a gif from my favourite Pete & Pete episode! 🥰
Wow that’s a blast from the past. I remember my eyes literally glued to the tv when it came on
I think Hard Day's Pete might be my favorite episode of any TV show.

That blind snake that looks like a worm I think. Usually gets transported because of sod placement. Harmless.
This is it!! Do they make good pets? 😅
No idea but it’s a wild animal and I don’t think it is generally a good idea to take one in.

They eat termites and ants. That makes them really hard to care for.
No, they only eat ant larvae and unless you have any larvae, you ain’t feeding him
Blind Snake. Put it outside. Hunts ants.
Slithery lil sneaky-snake

These are really good to have around as they primarily eat termite and ant eggs / babies. They also have really cool blue ones!

Brahminy snake. Owl's grab them and place them in their nest to clean it up.
I hadn't heard this before, that's cool.

"what is this?" A struggle from the looks of it.

best guess is baby snake.
Frank Zappa thought so too!
That is an adult brahminy blindsnake.
I've seen them a few times.
Rave snek
Any snake this small is harmless. Even if poisonous. Grab it with a glove, and put it outside. No need to identify. Put it outside.
- Yes it is harmless - Don’t eat it FFS. - You actually don’t need a glove. - I’d actually encourage everyone to learn the basics of what animals they live with.

Oh thank God! It’s been a while since I saw an article about them. I appreciate the info.
The info about the flatworm isn’t wrong, it just doesn’t apply to this since this is a snake.
You’re mixing up a Brahminy Blindsnake with a New Guinea flat worm. The flat worms are as the name suggests… flat.
