Abstract
This article describes the first find of blind snake remains from the Middle Miocene sediments in the Vracevic locality (Western Serbia). The numerous snake remains were isolated from the fossil material of the Vracevic site. Among the many fragmented vertebrae, only one has been identified as belonging to a ?scolecophidian?. This vertebra is characterized by the neural arches depressed dorsoventrally; the vestigial neural spine limited to the most posterior part of a neural arch; posterodorsal lamina of neural arch slightly concave; paradiapophyses developed above the ventral margin of cotylar rim; indistinct haemal keel visible only on the anterior part of vertebra centrum.
