An ecological survey in Barbados has rediscovered the smallest known snake species in the world, the Barbados threadsnake (Tetracheilostoma carlae). The snake was found under a rock in central Barbados in March. The herping expedition was conducted by the Barbados Ministry of the Environment and National Beautification with assistance from Re:wild, an organization that exists to protect wild things.
“Barbados threadsnakes are blind snakes, so they’re very cryptic,” said Connor Blades, a project officer with the Ministry of Environment in Barbados, who helped rediscover the threadsnake. “They’re quite rare also, it seems. There have only been a handful of confirmed sightings since 1889, so there are not many people who have ever seen it, unfortunately.”
