I've only seen a blind snake once in person and that was in this pot of Dragon fruit I was growing. There was this tetramorium colony and I wanted to watch their progress so I could know when they were flying. Well, this blind snake kept their population down enough that they didn't even produce alates! Like, they still had enough workers to stay alive and function but this snake was wise enough not to eat all of it and to only eat a certain amount. I found it occasionally on the surface for a few seconds with ants swarming the heck out of it, but just kept doing what it was doing and the ants did nothing to it. I was Amazing! We named the snake the Conqueror of the Dragons! (which we named the colony the dragons because they lived in my Dragonfruit pot)

 

very cool, thanks for sharing that.
