A Lowland Striped Blindsnake from Guatemala. It’s a tiny, entirely harmless invertebrate specialist that doesn’t spend much time on the surface, so we were lucky to see one. Compared to the unicolor blindsnakes (Rena sp.) from the U.S., this one having some pattern and a bright yellow tail spine was very interesting. The thing they have in common with them though: they’re about impossible to photograph, and they smell like hell.
