Scaleless ball pythons health?

[Aziara]

All the threads I can find on this are several years old, and only speculate that "they won't be healthy". Is there any update to how these scaleless BPs do over time?
Do they feed well? On that note, are smaller meals necessary (does the skin stretch less?)
Do they dehydrate or deal with dry skin issues?
How's their mobility?

Unlike some breeders Daniel has been very open about this project.

I've met Daniel twice - he's also a really, really nice guy.

Interesting that he suggests using Bag Balm (main ingredients being petroleum jelly & lanolin w/ a tiny amount of antiseptic) for
these BPs as needed for a shed issue? That would sure mess up a regular snake with scales.

Thanks, this is exactly the sort of info I was looking for. So it looks like they aren't horrifically 'handicapped' as some seem to claim. Just a little extra vigilance needed with sheds and occasional moisturizing.
