Brahminy Blind Snake

Well, people sometimes call me to remove a snake from their garage or shed and it's usually a corn, ringed snake, or black racer. But sometimes a Brahminy Blind Snake will squeeze their way under a door and be found inside the house. I got to wondering how to sex the tiny blind snakes. To my surprise, nobody has yet to identify a male, (as far as I can determine). These snakes reproduce by females laying unfertilized eggs, which hatch as females. Look up parthenogenesis on the internet. These snakes are quite helpful around the flower beds here in Florida, eating ant and termite larva and eggs. Make sure you tell your friends not to kill them.
