Leptotyphlopidae

The Leptotyphlopidae (commonly called slender blind snakes or thread snakes) are a family of snakes found in North and South America, Africa, and Asia. All are fossorial and adapted to burrowing, feeding on ants and termites. Two genera are recognized comprising 87 species.〔
==Description==
These relatively small snakes rarely exceed 30 cm in length; only ''Leptotyphlops macrolepis'' and ''L. occidentalis'' grow larger. The cranium and upper jaws are immobile and no teeth are in the upper jaw. The lower jaw consists of a much elongated quadrate bone, a tiny compound bone, and a relatively larger dentary bone. The body is cylindrical with a blunt head and a short tail. The scales are highly polished. The pheremones they produce protect them from attack by termites.〔''Field Guide to Snakes of Southern Africa'' - Bill Branch (Struik 1988)〕 Among these snakes is what is believed to be the world's smallest: ''L. carlae'' (Hedges, 2008).〔Hedges SB. 2008. At the lower size limit in snakes: two new species of threadsnakes (Squamata, Leptotyphlopidae, ''Leptotyphlops'') from the Lesser Antilles. Zootaxa 1841:1-30.(PDF ) at (Zootaxa ).
