The video of a strange snake is going viral on social media these days, which people are surprised to see. This creature seen in the video resembles a completely earthworm from outside, but in reality it is the smallest snake in the world.

Its most shocking thing is that it has eyes, but it still is completely blind. This unique snake is only a few centimeters long and most people do not even recognize it. Let’s know interesting things to this unique snake.

The world is the smallest snake

This snake is called thread snake. It comes in the world’s smallest snake species. Their length is a maximum of 10 to 12 centimeters, and their body is so thin that it starts to look like earthworms easily. Usually they remain hidden under the ground or in the soil, so it is very difficult to find them.

Why can’t you see despite having eyes?

This thread snake’s eyes are extremely small and covered with the skin layer. This is the reason why they cannot see anything. Scientists believe that these snakes have been adopted to live under dark or soil, so their eyes do not work. They can be identified only by touching them because they are completely innocent and harmless for humans.

What is special in viral video?

In the recently viral video, this snake is seen crawling on a human palm. Seeing its small and thin body, many people are making the mistake of considering it as earthworm. But when experts confirmed this, it was found that it is a rare thread snake. The video surprised people and now it is making a lot of headlines on the Internet.
