If a worm's skin dries out, the worm would die. They take in oxygen through their bodies so it will dry out easily. This is why they thrive in dark, moist(wet) places. I would suggest that when you handle worms for an experiment or something, ALWAYS keep the worms moist with water. If you are planing to regenerate the worms, check with a zoologist before doing this because not all worms can regenerate. You can probably find them in a phone book or online.

I really hope this helps!!!
