Ramphotyphlops is a genus of nonvenomous blind snakes of the family Typhlopidae.

[2] Growing to 50–750 mm (2–30 in) in length, snakes of the genus Ramphotyphlops occur in a variety of colors from light beige, to red, to blackish brown.

These snakes can be found in ant and termite nests, as well as under fallen leaves and in holes in logs.

They are believed to feed on earthworms, as well as the larvae and eggs of ants and termites.
