BLIND SNAKES AND PEOPLE

Many African and Asian cultures mention blind snakes in their legends and folklore.

CONSERVATION STATUS

The World Conservation Union (IUCN) lists the Mona Island blind snake as Endangered, which means it faces a very high risk of extinction in the wild. It also lists the Christmas Island blind snake as Vulnerable, which means it faces a high risk of extinction in the wild. Scientists know little about the wild populations of many species, however, so others may be at risk.

I found three blind snakes this previous sunday 13th Juky 2008, in Hamanskraal (Gauteng Province South Africa) in a vilage called Majaneng. The 3rd was accidentally killed during a clean up on the rubble they stayed in. 2 are still alive one is about 20-30 cm long the other is about 15.I have given it to the pet shop for safe keeping, was this the right thing to do?
