The Worm

We saw this 7" long worm crawling across the porch in central Texas. I let it crawl up onto a stick and tried to lift it, but the tail end stuck fast to the concrete. It appeared that it would break in two before it let go. When I set it back down it continued to slither across the floor. My wife tried to handle it and it was extremely sticky. The stickiness would not wash off after two washings with soap and water and lint from the towel stuck to her hand.

Can anyone identify this?
