I live in Arizona. These have been coming out in the evening. They are 1-2” long and looking like really skinny earthworms. I took it to the local pest supply store and they had never seen anything like it.
Update: my pest control company had never seen anything like it. They sent some examples to ASU to identify. Turns out they are a type of millipede. Very uncommon in this region.

Yo! I from Phoenix. I lived by some mountains and we’d get baby snakes randomly for a few weeks at a time throughout the year. They look a lot like skinny worms and could range in color from pinkish to dark brown. As to what type of snakes they were, I have no idea.
Did you pick it up, OP? Is it scaly or slimy? If it’s scaly, it may be a Western Threadsnake. If it’s slimy it’s some variety of earthworm.
Looks to me like a juvenile Texas Blind Snake. I’m no reptile expert though, can’t tell for sure
I hope someone will chime in who’s more knowledgeable but, yeah, it looks like an earthworm to me. Just…longer? Not a sewage worm, by chance?
