Eh, not really off topic. Someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but to my knowledge, Brahminy blind snakes (Ramphotyphlops braminus) are the smallest species known. They are born at around 2 inches, and obtain lenghs of 4-6 inches.

They are a pretty interesting species actually....as there are no males. The egg cells will actually begin division without male sperm.

This snake originated in Asia, but was imported here, probably by accident in plants or something. I think the only state they are found in is Ohio.

Hope I could help...
