The Caqueta blind snake (Trilepida brevissima) is a pale brown fossorial blind snake native to Colombia[1][2] and found between 560–2800 m (1837.3–9186.4 ft) in elevation.[3] As the name "brevissima" suggests (meaning short or little in Latin), it is small, with a holotype measuring between 6.6–6.8 cm (2.6–2.7 in).[3]
