Shooter McGavin Report post Posted August 21, 2014 Looks like a sonoran night snake. We had one for a pet, kids loved it until it got out of its cage. Never did end up finding it, wife not too happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thx for the help. mom and sis always have little 6 to 9 inch snakes that look about like worms, what are they? 3rd street and cloud, desert hills.. and they love expansion joints If they look like worms, but have kind of a metallic sheen to them, they are blind snakes. The one species was recently split into two and they are now officially called "thread snakes". If that's what your mom and sister are seeing, its a western threadsnake (Leptotyphlops humilis). Cool find! IN all of my searching, I've yet to find one. Many years ago, a friend of mine was up late watching some sci-fi movie and went to the garage to get a coke and one of those was in there. He freaked out at first! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper Report post Posted August 21, 2014 Here are some images I took of a Blind Snake we found in our garden. This was under a low magnification microscope. In the 2nd pic you can see eyes on the head. The tail is next to the head. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted August 22, 2014 I am ALWAYS finding snakes. I work a lot of remote locations, and they seem to seek me out sometimes. Here are a few. Black King snake (Pima County) Western Blind Snake Sidewinder One of the MANY Gopher (or Bull) snakes Everyday Western Diamondback Not a snake, but a cool opportunity to touch a wild Gila Monster He was a biggun. And really calm too. Pink Speckled Rattlesnake The biggest Gopher (or Bull) snake I have ever seen. Over 6' long and super friendly. I almost brought him home as a pet. Another Western Diamondback Another skinny Gila Monster, about 14" long or so. Another grumpy sidewinder Desert Nightsnake My wife freaked just looking at this photo... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
