Aussehen

The Brahminy Blindsnake is a tiny, slender snake with a glossy, worm-like body, typically dark brown, grey, or purplish-black. It has a blunt head and tail that are very similar in appearance, making it hard to tell which end is which, and tiny, scale-covered eyes that are barely visible.
