scaleless ball python

[JLC]

I'm friends with a few breeders who have had the opportunity to actually hold it. From what I understand its very similar to shark. Sand papery from what I've heard.

Maybe different snakes have different feels, but I think any "sand papery" feel would be from random scales that are there. Scaleless corn snakes, for instance, sometimes have a large smattering of random scales, which would make them feel bumpy. A completely scaleless snake feels like very soft, fine suede. I've held one of Brian's. Not his ball python, but one of his colubrids.
