Found this in the remnants of a bag a grass seed from last year. It seems completely desiccated.
My best guess is that this is what we call a worm snake. I can't imagine how it got there unless it came with the bag. The bag has been in my garage since I bought it.
We've got a lot of these worm snakes on my property. They're smaller than a lot of earthworms I find (that's engineering paper, 5 squares per inch).
I always get a little sad to see a dead animal, but this is really well preserved. I don't know if you could do much with it, but it feels like a waste to just trash it.
I have a kindergartener. I plan on getting it to the class somehow.
I can't just put it in a container in his backpack. It'd break. I'd definitely let the teacher know, but I'm concerned about my science overbearingness.
I already suggested that they need to do things for the spring 2024 eclipse (and I'm not sure about that one).
I wonder if you could put a coating of lacquer to keep it preserved and prevent it from falling apart
