Anyone have a positive ID for this snake? sorry for the blurry shot but the snake appears to have shiney brown scales with a pink underbelly. My guess is a "worm snake" because it looks and moves like an earth worm in the soil but im sure there is a more proper name for it. Thanks!

Since the geographical range of a snake is a very important key to identifying it, knowing where in the world you found that one would be a huge help to us in identifying it.

One possibility is a Brahminy blind snake, a critter that is not native, but quite common in some parts of the southeastern U.S.

yes i am in the south eastern usa, sorry for not including location... and thank you for the possible ID of this snake.

From that picture I can't help much with what it IS, but you can rule out Brahminy Blind Snake. It's WAY too big for one thing. The BBS has tiny, smooth scales, a very blunt head with not noticable neck and the eyes are just tiny photsensitive spots.

Tough to tell from the pic. I'd guess worm snake or earth snake.

Does it have any pattern on the back? Any black dots? Are it's scales smooth?

Im almost positive its a worm snake now but heres a close up just to show. Thanks for responding guys

Agreed. Looks like a worm snake to me too.
