Procrastination Flowchart

Most of these live in jungles, but the one in the picture has been confined to quarters.

Kalel deserves a tshirt.

It's like a little worm with eyes?

I've actually encountered a few snakes not much bigger than that (I live in West Texas).

I so would give one to Kalel, but his email bounced. :(

I was very happy to read that it doesn't crawl into parts of the body that are exit only.

Agree with Emp. Tomato Catsup....I live in South Texas and I've seen these things since I was a kid. They arent all that uncommon. We had a few get in the house & mom called them "glass snakes"

I see my old spamtrap address has been closed, sorry.

I blame snakes.

I think the headline should either be

"Smallest Snake in the World so far Discovered", or
"Even Smaller Snake Discovered"

Awwwwww, I want one!

That's a very good point, 032125. There will probably be a smaller one discovered someday.

I hate linking to wikipedia, but they have all of the important links on their page too:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptotyphlops_carlae

This species was already "discovered" and the natives knew about it for a long time. We have to stop claiming that as soon as a western scientist reaches a jungle that he or she is the first person see a species. it's taken nearly 500 years for people to finally start believing that Columbus didn't discover America.

Cool snake though.

i think thread snake can found anywhere in this world. infact i have one here and i found it only in our dirty kitchen. - general santos city,philippines.
