    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

does any one know how to care for a blind snake!

srry, i am pretty newto this forum and dont know how o do it i am pretty sure it is because the discripstionfits perfect if you can sho me how to do it i will show you . but itlooks like a 2,3 inches it is abit slimy and it is not aworm because it is fast and has a small white to black tongue i found it under a flower pot. if you cancouldyou help me . oh and thanks.
 
being native doesnt matter much anymore. i found a gecko at work last week in new albany, ohio. down in florida, anything goes. when you have breeding populations of burmese pythons, there'd be no surprise in finding a blind snake that is notorious for being shipped with flowers around the world. they have even established new ranges in several states in the US.
 
Keegan Is Accully Right! Because The Brahminy Blind Snake Has Been Shipped Here By Mistake Or Some People Had Them Might Of Exscaped But I Checked On Line And It Is A Brahminy But Thanks.

Will these be a challenge to provide?

Obviously they are able to get food on their own or they would not be surviving.

But, how easy will it be to provide the right types of prey in captivity?
 
Sorry about the slow reply, I should check these posts more often. I don't know of any commercial suppliers for these types of insect prey, although you can often find termites in rotten logs, and they may not be too hard to culture. I just don't know. By the way, ALL brahminy blind snakes are female. They are a parthenogenetic species, which is one of the reasons they are so widespread in the tropics. All it takes is one to start a new population.

They are also known as the "flowerpot snake". While hiding in the soil of plants they get moved all over the world.

They are fossorial feeding on termite and ant larvae.
 
Hi
My Typholops braminus Common Blind Snake feed on ant eggs and larvas. They are all females. She need soft ground to dig in. Keep the ground a liitle wet. Put a few leafs in the cages.
