BRONGERSMA´S BLIND SNAKE Typhlops brongersmanius
Blind Snakes (Typhlopidae) are notoriously difficult to identify, being variable in colour - the identity of the species usually depending on subtle differences in the scale patternation of the head. As their name suggests they lead a subterranean existence and are completely blind. Specimens are rarely encountered, but sometimes surface following heavy rains.
