phylum | Chordata | Leptotyphlops humilis is a blind snake species endemic to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. This species, like many of the others in this family, resembles a long earthworm. It lives underground in burrows, and since it has no use for vision, its eyes are mostly vestigial.
