"The fact that tiny snakes produce only one massive egg, relative to the size of the mother, suggests that natural selection is trying to keep the size of hatchlings above a critical limit in order to survive," said Dr Hedges. Today we’ll be looking at 10 of the largest snakes in the world, and learning a little bit about each of the different species. Hedges believes the Barbados thread snake may be at or near the smallest size possible for snakes, due to an evolutionary trade-off between size and reproductive strategy.

For example, if a centipede is missing from an island, a snake might evolve into a very small species to fill the space it would normally have occupied. "It is difficult to protect a species if you don't know it exists," he added. Many of the smallest snake species are found on oceanic islandsâa pattern that holds true for other animals too. It appears to be live on only a few square kilometers of forest on Barbados, where almost all the original forests have been cleared. But multiple eggs mean smaller eggs, and Hedges speculated that if the Barbados thread snake's eggs were any smaller, they would result in offspring too small too survive. At about ten centimeters long (less than four inches), the diminutive reptile might easily be mistaken for an earthworm, and could comfortably curl up on a U.S. quarter, researchers say.
