Sorry i dont have a photo i didnt have time to take one
in my yard today when i was moving stuff to put into the skip bin i lifted a old brick and underneath it there was this hole, and i must have disturbed something because it started moving rather fast, it wasnt a hole that comes up it was like a verticle thing that i could then see this thing slithering along
it didnt have scales
it was greyish
atleast 1and a half cm thick
and then when it came to the end of it i saw its tail was rounded not pointy and rather red
it would have ATLEAST been a ft and a half long
i have never seen anything like it before, i get loads of beetles etc in my yard i thought it could be some giant worm but it just seemed like it was too big and fast and wierd....

and no it wasnt a riddle im confused as hell as what it could have been no way was it a snake tho, only thing i can think is the worlds largest worm because it doesnt have any features of a snake and it wasnt a leggless lizard because of its skin i wish i had a video camera with me but it was gone in about 4 seconds

|  | slimin about! Subscriber | Join Date: Aug-06 Location: Cairns | | | | I've seen blindsnakes before and they seem to vary a lot - and eassily confused with giant worms. Would be very cool if that was what you saw.
Best bet is to google info on the blindsnakes of Australia and see if one comes close to your visual description.
Do you get bandy bandys in your area? bandy bandys feed on blind snakes. I think most blind snakes can exude a secretion - sort of pepperminty smell if they're handled. Maybe bandy bandys like the fresh breath after taste of blind snakes.
Good luck.
Let me know how you get on.
Cheers
