BHB gives info on some scaleless concerns

New Snakebytes, brian gives the low-down about heat pits, vent scales, eyecaps and the story of it all.

What a great video! It was so fun watching his excitement of cutting the eggs again!

I saw that this morning too - he's so clearly excited, props to him for such an awesome project! You can see in how excited he is that it's not just the money - he is really, truly, genuinely 120% excited to be making something new. It's awesome to see that enthusiasm! :)

umm, yeah, not much new unfortunately.

i really expected the absence of belly scales and that shedding and eye caps are fine, yesterday BHB posted a picture of a scaleless shed with eye caps in it.

he downplayed the heat pit issue a little bit, yeah they probarbly sense heat, but its not directional anymore.

still, it looks like they will be quite viable, with few issues, at least they eat and shed and grow. place your bets: will BHB make a post when they first crap?

i guess the first scaleless combos will come out next year or in two years, BHB now has at least two scaleless, and a pastel scaleless head and a pinstripe scaleless head and some other scaleless head breeders, and Mike Wilbanks has 3 scaleless heads.

Unfortunately the way recessive genes work, it will be more than a year or two to grow out morph hets and then make morph scaleless. Count on at least three years, probably four.

TBH the first poop is really important - it lets you know there are no major internal issues with digestion etc. :P

Yeah, I have been keeping up on his shows and that is pretty awesome! Going to be crazy what things come from that in the future.

umm, its codominant, the scaleless heads are quite obvious. so, no guesswork with possible hets. and there will be scaleless head to scaleless head breedings for more fully scaleless, but also scaleless head to "powerhouse multi-gene BP", and then its very easy to pick out the scaleless heads. it works just like a super-project, like a super enchi project or something.

so, plenty of multi-gene scaleless heads will be produced soon and the 2013 pinstripe and pastel, if they are male, should allow for the first scaleless morphs in 2014.

So you mean incomplete dominant...
