BLIND SNAKE

The blind snake, scientifically known as *Ramphotyphlops braminus*, is a fascinating creature often encountered during the adventurous Big Jeep Tours in Bisbee, Arizona. This snake is particularly unique due to its small size and thin body, resembling a large earthworm more than a typical snake. Its smooth, shiny scales and dark coloration allow it to blend seamlessly into the surroundings, making it a curious find for those exploring the natural landscapes of Bisbee.

During a Big Jeep Tour, your guide might point out the blind snake's distinctive features, such as its tiny eyes which are covered by scales, rendering it effectively blind. This adaptation is perfect for its burrowing lifestyle, primarily living underground where sight is unnecessary. The snake feeds mainly on ants and termites, which it locates using its keen sense of smell. Discovering a blind snake while exploring the rugged terrains of Bisbee adds an intriguing element to the natural history shared by the guide, enhancing the overall experience of the tour.
