I found this guy in my driveway this morning. I live in Northern Florida, near Jacksonville.

I initially thought that it was a baby snake (note the black on brown lengthwise stripes), but it moves very slowly and methodically, like a slug, perhaps. Never saw a slug so long and skinny. He's about 3.5 inches (90mm) long, and can hold his head up high to look around, raising up almost a third of his total body length.

Maybe some kind of worm?

The "hammerhead" style head is what is making me scratch mine.

Look up (Google Images) "hammerhead worm". You'll see your pretty little guy. – anongoodnurse Oct 22 '17 at 17:56

They are also likely to be invasive to North America, so feel free to squash if you prefer. . – John Oct 22 '17 at 22:43
Or catch it and see if it will eat an earthworm. – Willk Oct 24 '17 at 01:14

What animal is this (snake/slug/worm)?
