It has no limbs, like most members of the subfamily Acontinae.[1] Its slender, tube-shaped body is golden-brown with tiny black spots. These spots fuse into longitudinal stripes in some specimens. It is usually found burrowing in dry sand as well as beneath boulders, dead trees and other detritus. It gives birth to two to four young in summer. References1. ^{{cite journal |author1=Savel R.
