i cant say this snake is rare but i NEVER see them... i only found them in elementary and sometimes on and off when kids find them and start to quarrel between boys "lets drop it in water!" and girls "DONT KILL IT!". and always the clumsy kid who steps on it and gets flamed "WTF WHY DID U PWN THE POOR THING!!!"

i think by far these are the strangest snakes (also being the smallest in the world). but ive seen maybe 10 or less in my whole life, but what the hell can they possibly eat?!? their sooooooo small i cant even imagine them having mouths or fangs! their fangs are probably microscopic!

ahh just read up on them.
their not native, but are in no way invasive. they eat ants yes, and other small pin-sects but since hawaii never had ants or most small insects pre-contact it doesnt harm a thing here.

i want to get one and breed it XD. they are self-spawning.
 
Sounds neat...
 
I would imagine you would never see it . Its like looking at a jar,etc of soil . They are found here in shaded parts of yard under slate flat rocks,etc but only in winter .

Would think same there?
 
Nice but kind of hard project to acomplish;) You would need several ant farms for even one snake because they eat ant larvae and nothing else. Alot of efort would be needed for this pet you would almost never see. Also most blind snakes are very hard animals to keep alive in the long turn. I would select something hardier if I were you.

IMA BEAST!!!...... lol.... it was obvious what they were, but i spelled it wrong, its Brahminy

lol, ud like never see them if u kept them, and like coura said, ud need to breed ant colonies like mad...... who does that lol????

i see them alot actually, anytime of year

and anything non indigenous to me is invasive, even tho i dont rid of them like i do cane toads, tilapia etc

Sorry but considering that you would have to comit suicide because no way human beings are native to America;) They only arrived there in much less then a million years, less then a nano second in geological time. The thing of native, exotic,invasive, non invasive is a head shake of controversial matter but the absolute truth is that ALLWAYS organisms traveled to places were dint exist prior to that event, many didnt trive, some trived and fitted in the ecossistem and a few trived to a point in wich they caused extincions on native species. Now its up to us to discern thouse apart. Tilapia may be invasive but it shure its a important food sorce for the future of man kind. Cane toads simply dont fit:grinno: and the humble blind snake...well lets just let her be;) Anyways its unlikely it will be around for to long in its normal range, all it would take its a change of condicions or a new desiase for its populacion wich is by any means is a single individual to crash.
