World’s smallest snake: Currently there are countless species that have disappeared from our planet. But, when the extinct creature has been found again years ago, it is no less than a miracle. Something similar has happened in the Caribbean country Barbados, where scientists re -discovered the world’s smallest snake after about 20 years. The name of this snake is Barbados Thradsanek. Its length is only 7.5 to 10 centimeters and it is so thin that it can come out of a needle hole comfortably. It was included in the global list of 4,800 plants, animals and fungal species that have disappeared.

The smallest snake returned after decades

According to a TOI report, in March 2025, an environmental scientist was doing an environmental scientist Blade Research in a small forest in Barbados. When he picked up a stone, he saw a very thin, thread -like thing wrapped below. On watching carefully, it was found that it is not a normal worm, but the same snake that was shown about 20 years ago. Many experts had already declared it extinct. But this discovery of Connor shocked everyone.

These snakes are blind and small

Barbados threadasanes are blind, small and mysterious, so they are considered other aggressive species like earthworms or Brahminy blind snakes. Blads said to Ri: “It seems that they are also very rare. Since 1889, they have been confirmed very little. Unfortunately, most people have not seen them.

This snake gives the same egg at a time

Spacious species like Barbados Schink and Barbados Racer have already been declared extinct. This small thread snake, which gives only one egg at once, is particularly sensitive to aggressive predators such as housing destruction and Indian mongoose.

Now confirmed after investigation

Blades took the snake to the University of West Indies, where when examined by a microscope, the orange lines and scales like scales appeared on the nose. Now, on completion of the investigation, it was confirmed that it is a threadnack, which he was looking for.

Thread snake was first seen in 1889

Barbados Threadasane was first seen in 1889. Since then, this has been confirmed only a few times. Threadskin breed sexually and the female lays only one egg at a time. Ever since the colonies have been established on this island more than 500 years ago, 98% of its forests have been cleaned for agriculture.

When the forest ended, snake also hidden

Barbados is a small tourist country, where the forests have been harvested very fast in the last few years. More than 90% of the forests have been abolished in the name of farming and tourism. Now there are very few forests left there. For this reason, this snake is now found only in select small areas. Due to the change in the weather and drought from above, the number of terraces also decreased, which is the main food of this snake. Due to all these reasons, its population was very low and scientists could not find any evidence of its presence.
