Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Latin American Blind Snake sighting in Buenos Aires on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 20th most-seen of the 22 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Latin American Blind Snake is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Buenos Aires (6 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
