Baby Snakes Found in House

[kgraziano33]

Hi,
I am located in Clearwater, FL. I have recently found 5-6 very small black snakes in my house and have been struggling to identify them. I am assuming that a mother some how got in and hatched them. they are all black and are about as big as a small worm I can tell they are snakes because I can see their very small forked tongue darting in and out. Any ideas?

Do they have any any pattern or stripes?

Could be water snakes, could be ringnecks, could be something else. Take some pictures, don't try to grab them.

I agree with Stefan. Many venomous snakes down there, don't risk a bite. Love to see some photos.

Here's a link that might help.

Yeah, that's what my guess is maybe baby ringnecks, dekay's, or red bellies. Can you see what color the bellies are? Im thinking they are too big to be garters or waters so most likely for you to find so many in your house they are probably dekay's sometimes they look black when first born like stefan said if you could snap some pics that would be great.

Thanks for the quick update. It does not have any rings and is pitch black. I have attached a picture. You can barely tell its head from its tail and no eyes are visible. Their bellies are a dark brownish color. See attached picture.

Just talked to a local snake trapper. It is an invasive species called the Brahiminy Blind Snake. Heavy rains drive them inside. These guys look to be full grown. Thanks for the help.

Invasive species, you say. In my humble opinion, they should be destroyed ASAP.

They look nasty to be honest.

Oh, creepy looking!!! It really dose look like a worm. I would double check with your local game & fish before destroying OR releasing OR keeping any.
