ID needed...

Can someone ID this? Latin preferred. It came up from the ground in my yard after the rains of Tropical Storm Fay. It is sitting in a jar in the dining room.

Definately looks like something from the Amphisbaenia Andersonii family, but I can't quite make it out... Any more pics?

yeah, here is one

holly *&^%* thanks in advance for the nightmares tonight, isnt that the thing from the movie tremors

Not too sure, but I would circumsize it if I were you.

I'm not sure what it is, but I'm pretty sure I had nightmares about similar creatures when I was a kid!

That looks like something you'd find in a cave.

god, what a monster.. i would go to some place that find new speices.. you never know. i found a butterfly that were a new one xD

That is really disturbing...eeeeeeeeeek

Looks like a Slender blind snake

Leptotyphlops. Doesn't quite look like the western blind snake (humilis), but yours is probably the eastern variety. Great creepy picture!

wow that looks abnormal i have never seen anything like that ever

I had one of those in my back yard too.
It was in the dirt. It was one just like that.
I live in Southern California.

You guys must be joking that thing is real???

OK..... How big is that thing?!

'pardon my french'

HOLY CRAP, i was thinking tremors to, that is a funky little M'F'C'A'A

but looks cool...what an neat find.

The one i found in my backyard was about 6-8 inches long. It wasnt big at all but it looked exactly the same. I dont know the one Josh found could be bigger.

Hey there. My bets are on Carphophis amoena.

That is KICK @$$! I really dont find it to be creepy.

When I was a kid I was digging in my grandparents back yard after a lot of rain... I went in with the shovel and obviously chopped one of these and it started flailing in the mud... It had to be almost a foot long and pretty fat... I thought I ahd just found the largest earthworm in history, I ran inside to grab my Gandpa, and before I could get him to come and check it out, we found his Black Lab running around the yard with it... The dog ate it. That is the one and only time I ever saw anything like this in the dirt. I would love to know what these creepy little things are... Earth worm mutants!

You guys keep assuming my prediction was wrong... Are my predictions ever wrong? I bet Chris A would know exactly what this was.
