The article says it's called the Leptotyphlops carlae.

Biggest snake would probably be the anaconda.

Answer 2

The world's smallest snake is likely to be some species of thread snake, but it is difficult to say exactly which since some species are known only from a single specimen, which means the maximum and minimum size of the species have yet to be established. The current holder of the title is thought to be Leptotyphlops carlae (see link below):

The world's largest snake is the green anaconda (Eunectes murinus) of South America, which can reach lengths of up to 10 metres (33 feet), and weigh up to 550lb. The reticulated python (Python reticulatus) of Asia reaches similar lengths, but is much lighter.
