Field Notes

Description:

This is a nocturnal snake that uses it's tail to dig down into the ground. At first glance, it looks like a huge worm with a red head and a black back, but it has a white underside. It's tail feels hard.

Habitat:

Singapore, Dairy Farm Rainforest.

Can you find the scientific name of the snake? I like how you described the feel of the snake (although it may be hard to ask people to touch wild snakes :) ) Please make sure you include things like length, size, behavior, or special adaptations.
