This is a snake not an earth worm. This I do believe is called the Blind snake, they live under rocks and other debres, mostly tunnelling trails under large rocks, thats where I have always found them.
I have only seen about 7 ever in my life time and when I first found one I thaught it was a worm until I saw the tiny forked tongue.
Reptiles Magazine had an article on them a while back, these are native to Florida.
These are actually very common. Look under rocks or rotting debris.

Thanks for the info, I was already corrected,
I just thaught they were native cause the first one I ever caught was about 24 years ago and that was about a mile west of the ocean , this one was caught about 25 miles from the ocean so I thaught with such a range especially where I live now it has only been inhabited for about 15 years and its like in the woods to swamp area,
I geuss they must be coming from plants imported from Asia, they are so small I couldn't imagine being able to find or see any eggs in the soil that comes with the plants.
Thanks again,
Nick

also known as the flower pot snake. another interesting fact is that they are born pregnant.
p.s. one of the smallest species their is a similar species in sub-sahara africa which is smaller.
