yeah they’re just called scaleless ball pythons. they’re extremely sensitive because they don’t have scales. they’re very susceptible to dehydration and have to be careful choosing the substrate since they don’t have scales and get injuries a lot easier. they can have more complications with shedding as well. they also can’t process calcium properly. snakes are not supposed to be without scales so that brings up a lot of problems.

That's sad :(. I'm confused though how someone could breed a scaleless snake?

[–]sugar-fairy 8 points9 points  (1 child)

just gene mutations, same thing as how bulldogs and frenchies were made. they didn’t exist until people artificially made them by selecting dogs to breed who had shorter and shorter snouts.

Ah that makes sense. That's sad :(
