Iberian worm lizard and Indotyphlops braminus

[clive Grazalema]

Interesting that I only just found out that there is a second (introduced) species of worm lizard in Spain. Its thought to have arrived in pot plants from Asia and is called the brahminy blind snake (Indotyphlops braminus). It seems to be restricted to a small area of Almeria. (Aguadulce)

Above image from the great article about them and telling the difference between the two species: https://serbal-almeria.com/noticias/130-culebrillas-ciegas-la-autoctona-y-la-exotica
