Snake/worm
I have recently found several small 6 to 8 inch grey snakes in my garden. At
first I thought they were some kind of worm, but I found one on my driveway which had been eaten by ants and there was a skeleton. The snake has a very small head and will strike like it's going to bite just like a poisonous snake. Can anyone tell me what this snake is called and is it dangerous in any way. Thanks, Freckles |

Thanks, Freckles Texas blind snake, Leptotyphlops dulcis, is my guess - about as harmless a serpent as could possibly be. |

Thanks, Freckles It's difficult to say from your description and not knowing where you are. It could related to the garter snake or the worm snake. Does it have one eye or two? If only one eye at 8in long it could be the greater trouser snake and yes they can be dangerous if not handled properly. The lesser trouser snake is smaller and less of a handful. David |

Where I live there are no poisonous snakes and I see a lot of garter and black snakes on my property. Other than scaring my wife, they are good to have around for keeping rodents under control. OTOH, I have friends in North Carolina that are afraid to venture beyond their mowed lawn because of the presence of maybe 6 types of poisonous snakes and ticks with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. |

The comment about the inchworm was funny and the choice of words was clean enough. Don's reaction was obscene and juvenile. Reprimand him also. |

Don's smarmy "talk dirty" comment berating his wife was the opener... he's not only rude and crude he lacks a funny bone. And FarmNone is obviously Don's functionally illiterate flunky.
