What habitat do they live in? Every time i go herping my mate has had this obsession with finding one and we've seen everything but!!! It's so frustrating! I'd love to see one in the wild.

G'day mate,

They are only documented as eating Blind Snakes. In captivity they are normally tube fed, or force fed on rodent tails.

Cheers,

Jonno

According to the holdings list there are 2 on license in nsw, and yeah a google search says they eat blind snakes and small skinks

well that blows any idea of keeping one and buying one for that matter. i have seen blind snakes around here.
google says blind snakes eat termites and ants so it was half right.
its tripy and awesome watching them move im still high on seeing it..*a natural high*

i have found them out after a bit of rain or just out taking a drive. I have noticed that i don't see as many other herps out and about when i see bandy bandys, so maybe they like different conditions to other snakes.

I remember the first time i saw one. We we going out for a bit of a night drive/herp and a mate said "hey if you find a bandy bandy, let us know!" after about 3 hours of driving through a normally overflowing-with-herps area and finding nothing at all, we decided that the conditions weren't quite right, and that we should just go to the end of the road and turn around.. We drive over the next hill and what do we see? a row of mints dancing across the road

this was the first snake i ever encountered in the wild when i was about 3 or 4 years old,it was
lying on the ground where a bunch of us kids where playing
my dad came and picked it up with BBQ tongs and took it down further into the bush.
it was so random cause it was sitting in the middle of a dirt track in the daytime
which was wierd for a subterranean species
