Sneks of California: The Desert Threadsnake looks like an earthworm with scales. Its “eyes” are basically light-detecting spots, since vision is unnecessary for its underground lifestyle. It also fluoresces (glows) under ultraviolet light!

I want to meet a Barbados thread snake so bad!
Barbados threadsnake
Endemic to the Caribbean island of Barbados, it is the smallest snake species in the world, only 4 inches long and about as wide as a spaghetti noodle. You'd be forgiven for mistaking it for a tiny worm crawling through the grass or under a rock. The snake's diet consists of termites and ant larvae.
