Last but certainly not least, here are two of the world’s smallest snakes. They may be small in size, but they still have some of the same features as their larger relatives. Let’s meet these very small serpents!

Brahminy Blindsnake
These tiny snakes are often mistaken for earthworms, and apart from a difference in color, it’s not hard to see why. These blindsnakes are usually very thin and a shiny silver-gray color. They are not segmented, having rings around their body, like earthworms. These snakes do tend
to hang out in similar places, and they are even known as “flowerpot snakes” for their habit of stowing away in the soil of houseplants. This snake can grow to a mere 7 in. (17.8 cm) at most, but they can still cause problems as an invasive species. They come from Southeast Asia, but these little snakes have wormed their way into Florida and California, USA.
