Sexy. Okay, no, not really. More like repulsive. But oh well.

They're very cute. Helpless and easily frightened, also fragile. They will wipe a nasty white gunk on you with their bums if you try to hold them for too long, but I've seen them joyfully raiding ant nests, proudly impervious to pincers or stingers.

Something is amiss. A worm with eyes and scales? What you are looking at is the Plains Blind Snake. They say everything is big in Texas. Well, not these guys.
Those eyes are pretty well non-functioning, since they creep through the dirt to dine upon ants and termites. I might recruit a few of these little reptiles to live beneath my house. I can promise them a life time supply of ants and I offer a great retirement package.
Thanks for the photo, Jack.

Looks like a messed-up ding-a-ling.

Um, yes, a very messed up one.

It's kinda cute, actually. In a weird way.

If by 'cute in a weird way' you mean 'wormy and snakey', then I agree.
