What they found is nothing more than the local version of Leptothyphlops on Barbados. It's not the world's smallest snake though, as at four inches it's average size compared to the other species of Leptotyphlops found in Curacao and on Bonaire. I sent Reuters a message about the misrepresentation. Yep - I saw that, Faith. What they found is nothing more than the local version of Leptothyphlops on Barbados.

It looks more like a skinny worm. When you released it what did it do? slither under something, dig into underground, just stay put, . . .? Let’s hope the dogs don’t eat it :-)
