Ramphotyphlops ligatus

Coolatai NSW Australia

These heavily-built blind snakes live in the nests of the ferocious bulldog ants in the genus Myrmecia, where they feed on pupae
and eggs. This one was found crossing the road at night, which is a LOT more convenient than having to dig up a bulldog ant's nest.
