Scaleless bp

[Archimedes]

Not worth it to me. Kinda cool, but it does open a lot of doors, not all of them good. I, like other people, hypothesize about potential health issues. That's a full layer of highly defensive skin gone. As far as we know, the scaleless heads haven't had too many issues, and obviously lived long enough to breed, but these supers have a heck of a lot more body exposed. BHB is a huge facility with a lot of quarantine capability, but if any of these get into the hands of casual hobbyists (obviously not for awhile, but this is forward thinking here), it could be disaster for a collection, depending on if it has any number of unknown pathogens hitching a ride.

I dunno. Mixed feelings. It's these types of mutations that make me start thinking bioethics.

EDIT: and that's absolutely not knocking Brian's work on this project, anyone who watches that Snakebytes video can see that this is way more than a science experiment for him, this was done out of pure passion and curiosity of the species. And really crazy-interesting to boot. I just have personal feelings about the possibility of this morph going viral in the hobby.
