Ah I really want to find another Bandi bandi, its been years since I've see one (and I dont have any decent pics of the only one I saw).

I love these. Easy to mistake for a worm until you see them move by sideways snake wriggle :). Hope you get a Bandi bandi spotting to follow this Scott. Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks. They normally dwell under rotting logs or in termite mounds so they dont particularly need eyes.

:O :O It's smaller than an earth worm! Is it blind because of where they live?
