NEWS FLASH !!!!!!
two pieces of news:
- Brian from BHB commented somewhere that they do have belly scales and heat pits. i have not uncovered the source yet, someone just quoted the comment in a different thread. that would be big news, it would mean they could be just as healthy as regular BPs.
- Mike Wilbanks purchased the first scaleless head / het scaleless BP that BHB ever sold, for an undisclosed amount in the 6 digits. Here i have a source, different thread in this forum: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...-for-6-figures!
I would be a bit surprised if more scaleless heads are sold before next breeding season. I think BHB does not have many right now and will want to produce more fully scaleless ones and get the scaleless head into combos to build a decent breeding stock.
about the issue raised earlier of germs getting into the skin easier: i would just compare a regular shed to a scaleless shed. to my knowledge, there does not seem to be much of a difference in thickness. and snakes with scales have very thin skin between the scales anyway. its something to watch long-term, but i guess it will be fine.
with these news im quite excited. i want to see decent pictures of their heads.
Edit: Banana peel is really a ridiculous naming idea, i also like skinner bee
