It is a baby earthworm.
Likely came in a plant.

You have 2 choices:
1- throw it in the garden
2-put it back in the substrate

Just a thought:
Is your substrate too wet or too dry ?
They come up to look for water or more likely * come up to get out of it ( like after it rains - when you see them in the driveway )


roots :the original soil should be removed completely and rinsed
the entire plant: needs a quick bleach dip and RINSE

Plant Prep
Five gallon bucket of tap water - 2 cap fulls of bleach
RINSE- in de-chlorinated water ( completely submerse the plant ) extra de-clor
Re-pot in ABG- and wait ! at least 2 weeks

Preparing the plants this way will help to kill off most insect larva and eggs.

I never plant a new plant into an enclosure---and I have -STILL seen an earthworm now and then

Tough little guys-- I suppose that's why they have been around for 120 million years
