I live in Arizona. These have been coming out in the evening. They are 1-2” long and looking like really skinny earthworms. I took it to the local pest supply store and they had never seen anything like it.

Update: my pest control company had never seen anything like it. They sent some examples to ASU to identify. Turns out they are a type of millipede. Very uncommon in this region.

    Yo! I from Phoenix. I lived by some mountains and we’d get baby snakes randomly for a few weeks at a time throughout the year. They look a lot like skinny worms and could range in color from pinkish to dark brown. As to what type of snakes they were, I have no idea.

      That’s interesting…I live in some foothills around phoenix with a fairly large lake across the street. I was surprised that the pest control had never seen something like it. Last night, I captured 15.
