Typical blind snakes
They are found mostly in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, the Americas, and all mainland Australia and various islands. They live underground in burrows, and since they have no use for vision, their eyes are mostly vestigial. They have light-detecting black eye spots, and teeth occur in the upper jaw. The tail ends with a horn-like scale.
