Carphophis amoenus, commonly known as the worm snake, is a species of nonvenomous colubrid snake endemic to the eastern United States.

This species of snake protects a large range, and normally prefers a moist habitat in the rocky woodlands, under rotten wood of logs and stumps. Though this snake is quite abundant over its range, it is rarely seen because of its dormant lifestyle and where it usually resides.

  • Carphophis amoenus, commonly known as the worm snake, is a species of nonvenomous colubrid snake endemic to the eastern United States. C. amoenus can be found east of the Mississippi, from southwest Massachusetts south to southern Alabama west to Louisiana and then north to Illinois. This species of snake protects a large range, and normally prefers a moist habitat in the rocky woodlands, under rotten wood of logs and stumps. Though this snake is quite abundant over its range, it is rarely seen because of its dormant lifestyle and where it usually resides. This snake is most common on the edges or in the ecotonal areas of open to thick woodlands, and the borders of wetlands. It may also be found in the grasslands next to woodlands. The best chance to spot it is after heavy rains, when its small size and distinct color make it easy to spot. This species prefers moist soil inhabited by earthworms, which are its main prey, so the soil needs to be sufficiently moist. The snake's skin naturally evaporates water; so the soil needs to be moist enough to offset this. C. amoenus is mostly found under rocks and in sufficient leaf litter during the extreme daytime heat.

  • Carphophis amoenus är en ormart som beskrevs av Thomas Say 1825. Carphophis amoenus ingår i släktet Carphophis och familjen snokar. IUCN kategoriserar arten globalt som livskraftig. Arten förekommer i östra USA från östra Missouri, östra Arkansas och östra Louisiana till Atlanten. Den saknas i Florida. I bergstrakter når Carphophis amoenus 1300 meter över havet. Arten hittas ofta vid kanter av träskmarker eller jordbruksmark i områden med träd eller buskar. Carphophis amoenus gräver i det översta jordskiktet och i lövskiktet. Under tider med kallt väder grävs djupa bon. Honor lägger ägg. (sv)
