It's kind of like breeding people to be disabled, no? (absolutely no offence intended, i'm sure people reading will understand the point i'm trying to make).

in fairness most of the morphs we see today, all the different colours ect wouldnt last two minutes in the wild.

R.e Terry and Si...

I can see where you guys are coming from and as it happens you're most probably right, i just didn't look at it that way!, my bad .

I suppose it's just the fact that 'scaleless' animals would naturally die off quite quickly probably due to illness as opposed to an albino snake that, if it escaped predators, could generally live a normal life. Therefore should we deliberately try to breed something that is open to illness and other associated problems?. It's very interesting topic though, have to say

Personally not my cup of tea, didn't like the 'feel' of them but the colour is stunning.

I absoloutely love them, and can't wait for the price to drop

I spent ages looking at those first in awe then not so sure about scaleless then decided a lot of lizards I keep do have very soft skin and are delicate but have no health issues so went bck to awe again

so wit that corn would u not have the problem of mites as the scaleless?

[Jinja]

I saw them and loved the look & feel of them but I do have my reservations, not sure why but I do...lol

[ophidianman]

Does anybody know how they slough? Does the skin come off in one piece as in a normally scaled guttata or do they shed like we do in lots of little pieces all the time?
