Lined Blind Snake

The striped or lined blind snake (Ramphotyphlops lineatus) is a blind snake of the family Typhlopidae found in Thailand, West Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, and possibly southern China. It was once claimed to be extinct and was rediscovered dead in the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve in Singapore after 172 years; that specimen was 4 cm longer than the previous maximum of 48 cm.
