I've never heard of a "worm snake," either -- but maybe that's because we don't seem to have them here, according to the map. We do have some little snakes that look very similar from the top, but their belly is orange -- not sure what the official name is, but we call them "copper bellies" up here. Really cute little guys!! (okay, I really do like snakes -- had a garter snake frequenting my garden a couple of years ago that I named "Slitherin'" (from Harry Potter)
(but, then again, it's probably easier to like snakes when you live where there are no poisonous ones...)
