Hey Guys,
So I was offered a couple scaleless corn snakes in a trade and since they sell easy for a high value, I took them. The plan is to breed them to fuel my venomous snake hobby but I also think they are quite interesting.
When it comes to mutations, I don't have a problem as long as the snakes function normally with no health issues. For example, I wouldn't breed Spider ball pythons, enigma leopard geckos, scaleless bearded dragons etc. as in all these cases, there is a possibility of problems. Neurological disorders in the first two and severe shedding issues in the other. However, I have been reading about scaleless snakes and they seem to do perfectly OK in a captive settings. So I said yes to the offer and here they are:
Here is a video:

There are also scaleless venomous snakes, which sometimes appear for sale. I have seen some Crotalus atrox, Bitis arietans and even some Acanthophis. I have to say I love how the Death Adders look like.
And a video from a breeder citing scientific sources about scaleless snakes:

Anyway, let me know what you think...
