thing i watched on animal planet last night(small snake)

[SLACkra]

ok i was watching a show on animal planet last night, can't remember what it was called but very interesting. anyways they talked about the worlds smallest snake, can't remember what it was called, being like 2" long and eating small invertabrates and that it is found world wide as it is imported in tropical plants(in the soil of the pots). they even showed some of sydney.

has anybody else heard of these tini snakes?

I've seen that doco, I am sure that it was a blind snake.....only way you could tell it was a snake was by the tongue coming in and out! Looked like a worm!
