I would go either Anomalopous or Blindsnake but from those photos it is extremely hard to tell. Its tapering + what looks to be a snout make me edge toward Skink (Anomalopous).
If you upload some quality photos or at least in focus I am sure several people could give you definite ID's.

Its a Ramphotyphlops species. To blurry to define species and without location I wouldn't guess.

Bel,
“not as good as” is certainly not the case. Not as knowledgeable in this area perhaps. I do have a distinct advantage there. I did a science degree with a double major in zoology. I also spent 30 years in the classroom teaching science – biology, geology, chemistry, physics,astronomy, horticulture, technology studies and a few other odd bods and sods.
Despite that I am just as fallible as the next person. I ID’d some lizards a couple of days back and got several wrong. I took on board what was said and I have learned from it. Maybe I should feel embarrassed but I just see it as a learning experience. I have learned much in these past few months since getting more involved in APS and I am appreciative of the opportunities availed me. My guess is that “the fact that it doesn’t feel so bad” for you is due to a similar attitude - which is good.

Tears running down my cheeks at the suggestions of it being a worm!
One of those scaled worms no doubt
