Image of Texas Blind Snake

Description:

Fairly large (~20 cm long). Found inside a rotting landscaping board - it (or something else) had dug a network of tunnels through it, so it was resting inside the hole. Managed to get it out of the board and it was not at all calm. Musked and defecated, then continually pursued cover and/or tried to flee while I handled it. At one point rolled itself into a ball and seemed calmer (not sure why).
