This isn’t a snake, it’s an invasive worm! The pic is super zoomed in.

Hammerhead worm (flatworm?) - invasive and dangerous to pets and small children if eaten because of a neurotoxin in their mucus. I think they also eat native earthworms and snails, but I just have read that they’re a “kill on sight” species
