They are found under rocks and in rotting logs and stumps. Habitat: Worm snakes are most common in forested, and wooded habitats. Juveniles and adults are similar in form and coloration. The small, rounded head is barely distinguishable from the rest of the body and the eyes are greatly reduced, which is characteristic of a burrowing snake. The worm snake is covered with smooth scales, which give it a shiny, iridescent appearance. The back surface is brown or black, while the belly surface is translucent pink. It is a small snake ranging from 7 to 12 inches in length. Photo Courtesy of Montgomery County Government.Ĭharacteristics: The Eastern Worm Snake looks like an earthworm.
