I live in Arizona. These have been coming out in the evening. They are 1-2” long and looking like really skinny earthworms. I took it to the local pest supply store and they had never seen anything like it.

Update: my pest control company had never seen anything like it. They sent some examples to ASU to identify. Turns out they are a type of millipede. Very uncommon in this region.

      I haven’t picked one up…they are freaking me out. They are about the same diameter as the old iPhone corded earphones…very tiny.

      At first that’s what I thought…I found tubifex worms image online and thought that was it. I’ve also have a recording of one moving…it kinda glides like it has a lot of legs…but it’s so tiny, I can’t tell if it has legs.

        Is it "gliding " in a wavy pattern, or in a straight line?

        A wavy pattern, where it glides like that makes me think it’s a threadsnake

          Hmmm…I’ve seen it move more on the wavy side…reminds me of how a centipede moves.

    Yo! I from Phoenix. I lived by some mountains and we’d get baby snakes randomly for a few weeks at a time throughout the year. They look a lot like skinny worms and could range in color from pinkish to dark brown. As to what type of snakes they were, I have no idea.

      That’s interesting…I live in some foothills around phoenix with a fairly large lake across the street. I was surprised that the pest control had never seen something like it. Last night, I captured 15.

        How long have you lived in the state?

            Sounds like a climate change symptom, then. We’ve got a lot of critters here we never had before. And a lot are gone we used to have. Well, ok, mostly the latter. But some of the former too.
