Indotyphlops braminus, commonly known as the brahminy blind snake [4] and other names, is a non-venomous blind snake species, found mostly in Africa and Asia, and has been introduced in many other parts of the world.
All species in the family Typhlopidae are fossorial and feed on social fossorial invertebrates such as termites and ants. The tracheal lung is present and chambered in all species. One species, the Brahminy's blind snake, is the only unisexual snake, with the entire population being female and reproducing via parthenogenesis. [4]

The common name of Scolecophidia, blind snakes, is based on their shared characteristic of reduced eyes that are located under their head scales. [14] These head scales are found in all snakes and are referred to as spectacles, but within this infraorder, they are opaque, resulting in decreased visual capabilities. [ 3 ]
