There is an amphibian called Caecilians. and they are referenced to the "Ingots" of indochina.
Taxonomically the Caecilians are divided into 5 families. The species numbers have to be taken with care, as many of the species are described
after only one specimen. Probably not all species have been described yet, however some of the described different species might turn out to be normal
variations inside one species.
Large Caecilians dubbed "ingots" plagued the French occupation of Indochina in the years before the Vietnam war. The creatures were reported to
borrow large holes and disrupt troop movement.

Most likely it is an undiscovered member of this species that she discovered in her garbage dump, which is pretty cool if you think about it.
Here is a whole website dedicated to them.
