What on earth is this?

Friend found them in her backyard - I have no idea. To me they look like worms with eyes.

Blind snakes

Thanks, advised her to release them back from where they were then as from a quick google they eat insects.

They actually eat ant eggs, larvae and pupae. So tell her to look after them, as they will help keep the ant population under control.
