I always thought of Texas as a hot and dry place. We see those earthworms only when it's raining (that's why they're called "Regenwürmer" = rainworms in German).

hot? DEFINITELY...up in the high 90s right now but we have a wide variety of land here in Texas. We drove to Florida one time, and from here to the Atlantic (half the country away) the land is almost the same..turn and drive WEST and in two hours you will leave the "piney woods" behind for the prairies in six hours you will find flat land and few trees (probably what you think of as Texas)
go south from me and you will run into coastal flatlands in less than three hours..
but this is part of my place:
(the part that is cleaned up for company! ) :laugh: :laugh:

but they are SQUISHY!! Think of the fun you would have!! the fish you could catch! The yucky stuff they leave on your fingers when you thread them on a hook!!
(ok forget that LAST part...)

one time when my nieces were small they came over while we were digging up some water lines and we found these HUGE worms, they were at least 12 inches long.
the girls wanted to keep them as 'pets', insisted on taking them to the store with them "so they could go shopping" I asked where the worms were gonna carry their money. :laugh: :laugh:
they said the worms WANTED to go...which I believe.. I am sure ALL worms dream of someday being lugged into a convenience store by a six year old.

I've been to East Texas. Several times in fact. The part of East Texas I was in looked very much like Louisiana. There were lots and lots of bayous and swamps... cypress trees EVERYWHERE, moss hanging from the trees. Very Southern looking. It was extremely beautiful. :D
Jess you should cover those worms up with moist dirt so they don't dry up. Poor little things! :(
