Blind Snakes are group of snakes highly evolved to live a subterranean existence. They are unlike other snakes in appearance having worm-like bodies of even thickness from the head to tail tip. Their eyes are not obvious and are present as small dark spots under semi-transparent scales.
The Blind Snake that occurs in the Sydney region, Ramphotyphlops nigrescens, is commonly encountered by people digging in gardens, or in more recent times, drowned in backyard pools. It has an average length of approximately 38 cm.
