Malagasy leaf-nosed snakes possess bizarre nasal protrusions that mimic smooth vines or frilly leaves and broken branches — depending on the sex and species. These snakes can grow over a metre (3.3 ft) long, but are extremely cryptic and difficult to spot in both dry and wet forests. 

The Brahminy blind snake is also known as the 'flowerpot snake' because it often hides in the soil of flowerpots, resulting in its spread throughout most of the world. It looks and acts like a worm — some 13 cm (5 in) long and subterranean — but it's one of the world's smallest snake species.
