In addition to the dicussion ill add this: .... imo it doesnt matter if the animal has heat pits, ass long as it can eat a f/t or p/k prey on its own. There are so many other snakes that dont have heat pits and survive quite well. Set that fact aside, Im sure this is just the beginning of Brians project. Since hes proved out the scaleless heads, hes gonna produce more scaless babies. Im sure its gonna be a several year "trial and error" project for him to find out what "works" for those babies. Regardless, Brian is making ball python history. If he can help them survive, and live well, kudos to him. I think its a kewl, very different animal, that is a world apart from all other ball python morphs.
