Flowerpot snake or Brahminy blind snake

I found it four stories up in my rooftop garden at the time in almost central Saigon.
The 15 cm snake obviously got there when I picked up some pot plants at a nursery.
At first I thought that it was a worm but it's snakelike movements made me look again.
It alwise tried to get back under the soil quickly.

    Awesome find, Ernst, had never heard of such a worm-like snake before, very interesting. Posted 8 years ago

The Brahminy blind snake

"Indotyphlops braminus" is a nonvenomous blind snake species found mostly in Africa and Asia, but has been introduced in many other parts of the world. They are completely fossorial animals, with habits and appearance similar to earthworms, for which they are often mistaken, although close examination reveals tiny scales rather than the annular segments characteristic of true earthworms.
