Burrowing blind thread legless skinksnake - Montagu WCape
Headless due to the feline eating attitude which is to treat it as spaghetti (the rest was eaten after the photo opportunity). Don't know what other info I can give to help ID, except that it was strangely slimy (which came as a rather rude surprise), perhaps they need lubrication to burrow through soil? Perhaps this is where the old wive's tale of snakes being slimy comes from?
