My first worm snake encounter happened on my front porch. I was standing on the ground working with some planters on the porch...say chest high. I moved a planter and there was this worm snake just staring at me. I mean I didn't freak out but I didn't know what to think of this miniature beast in my face. At first I just thought it was an abnormally feisty worm, but it was obviously a snake. It took nearly 12 months to spot another one, but I'm just glad to know they are out there. I just didn't know why I was glad until now
