can anyone ID this snake (or maybe legless lizard?) that i found? it got inside my apartment and i had to save it from my cat

edit: also im in central texas if that helps

a quick google tells me he might be a rough earth snek

but im not a snake scientist

or as @dappled-dephs suggested a groundsnake

tiny snakes are great

Yeah, looks like probably a rough earth snake. We get them pretty often in Texas. Totally harmless, pretty small. The worst they’ll do is pee on you. They’re shy and you mostly find them if you flip things over. Release him outdoors underneath some cover if you haven’t already, ideally in leaf litter.

Cute lil guy!
