Intermediate Bandy-bandy

Intermediate Bandy-bandy (Vermicella intermedia)

 

First time I've ever seen one of these guys in the wild, pretty happy I got to see it so close to home!

 

These snakes twist themselves into vertical loops when threatened, this specimen didn't do it quite as spectacularly as others, but you can see the some some parts raised off the ground to form some shallow loops.

 

Also Bandy-bandy snakes spend most of their life underground and feed almost exclusively on blind snakes.
