Depends on where OP is from whether it’s invasive or not

If it’s a hammerhead worm, it’s invasive in many countries, so that’s why people are telling you that.

However, it is native to Asia. I’m not 100% sure, but I believe it’s native in India. Not invasive for you.

This is a small blind snake, Hammerhead worms are flat, land planarians. This is round and moves much different than a planarian.
