A sad mystery

Look what I happened to find on our back patio a few days ago....a deceased Texas blind snake (Leptotyphlops dulcis). The mystery to me is that it apparently tied itself in knots around a piece of grass. Then died? I have no clue. But I found a little box for its body and placed it my cigar box of nature treasures. Poor thing.

 

Below is a blind snake (found on The Reptile Database) that's coiled similarly to mine.....
