Brahminy Blindsnake

It is completely fossorial, with habits and appearance similar to an earthworm, for which it is often mistaken, though close inspection shows tiny scales and eyes. Adults measure 5 to 10 cm, uncommonly up to 15 cm. This species is parthenogenetic, and all known specimens have been female (Wikipedia, general species account). The head and tail look alike, since the head scales resemble the body scales, and the tail has a small pointed spur. (Wikipedia, general species account).

The eyes, covered by translucent scales, cannot form images but can sense light intensity (Wikipedia, general species account). It is a completely fossorial (i.e., burrowing) reptile, with habits and appearance similar to an earthworm, for which it is often mistaken and shares convergent evolution with, although close examination reveals tiny scales and eyes rather than the annular segments characteristic of a true earthworm. This species is parthenogenetic and all known specimens have been female. (Wikipedia, general species account).
