Though there is a population of these in the tiniest south-western corner of Wisconsin, I never found any until I moved to Arkansas.
The Western Worm Snake (Carphophis vermis) is a very cool little snake. They can be found in many states in the USA, but can be difficult to find, since they burrow. For the most part, they live off of earthworms.
They are a real snake and have a tiny, cute little tongue that will flick out, but they look more like a worm. They are a small snake that rarely get up to 1 foot long. Most that we have found are between 3 – 9 inches. If I find a larger one, I will try to get some more photos. (Photographing tiny snakes is difficult for me!)

For a smaller snake, the Worm Snake sure is beautiful and peculiar. Just to give you a little better look at it, I also made a short video. I hope that you enjoy it!
