    Snake or Worm

    I was doing some earthworks this PM and dug this up. Not deep, about 4 inches.
    At first I thought strange worm then remembered blind snakes. Looked it up but found nothing that looked like this.

    That sounds right. Just googled that name and hatchlings are 170mm long when the come out of the eggs. Thats about the length of this one so it must be just hatched
