Today we collected a very nice specimen of the rare Yellow Backed Blind Snake Rhinotyphlops unitaeniatus in Watamu. We have found them in the area before but not much is known about them. The last one we had we got to eat the small white termites and also it occasionally would eat ants eggs. We decided to keep this one to try and learn some more about them.
