Typhlopidae (blind snakes) is a family of snakes containing 240 species in 6 genera. They are found mostly in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia and the Americas. The rostral scale overhangs the mouth to form a shovel like burrowing structure. The eyes are covered with scales and teeth occur in the upper jaw. The tail ends with a horn like scale. Most of these species are oviparous.
