I noticed a small egg in one of the burrows in my Brahminy blind snake habitat. There are likely more burried in there (I heard that they give birth to 8 genetically identical copies of themselves,) and I am very excited. I am keeping the eggs moist, and not taking them out, as I am worried I would crush them. Would the parents get along with the babies? How would I find them in the soil? Finally, what should I keep baby blind snakes in? I can imagine that they would escape through just about anything!

Unfortunately,

while gently moving the soil, to my dismay, I discovered that the "eggs" had actually been some odd-looking, white grains of sand that the snakes had pushed into a burrow while digging.
