look to see if you are in an area where the pot snake has possibly moved into lately, they are mostly in port areas and any area heavy into horticultural businesses

pot snakes are about the size of red wriggerlers worms are blind, need only one to multiply(self fertilizing), are harmless and eat ant eggs and termite eggs

they get their name because you often find them in your flower pots and many people think they are just a worm

if you pick one up it will beat you with the end of its tail for all its worth trying to convince you to drop it LOL
Fascinating. I'll have to look that one up. I have ant problems in my garden all the time. They are the kind that farm aphids and they drive ladybugs and syrphid fly larvae away from the aphids.
