World’s smallest snake makes big comeback

This handout photo obtained on July 25, 2025, courtesy of Re:wild shows a Barbados threadsnake in March 2025.

The Barbados threadsnake (Tetracheilostoma carlae) was found hiding under a rock in central Barbados during an ecological survey in March 2025 by the Barbados Ministry of the Environment and National Beautification and Re:wild, a conservation group.
