I'm not sure how I feel about scaleless but to all the people that don't like them I would remind you that there was a time that people viewed breeding albinos as wrong. Like albinos the scaleless would have a hard time surviving in nature. You need to remember that the scaleless and most albinos wont be surviving in nature. They will be thriving in someones collection. As long as people can learn what it takes to keep them healthy I see nothing wrong with it.
There are plenty of morphs out there that I doubt would make it in nature due to their coloring. An ivory or a pied (I'm sure there are others) wouldn't blend into their surroundings as well making them easy targets for predators just like the albino. So should we not breed those either? To take it a step further I think most people on this forum live in an area where the BP all together wouldn't thrive. So should those people not be allowed to keep them?
As far as me wanting one or not even if I did there is no way I could afford one any time in the near future so I wont worry about it. I would think most people buy expensive morphs because they like the beauty of that morph. I think most breeders breed what they find to be appealing to them first then for money second. So I say let the people that like the beauty of scaleless have what they want. No one is making you buy them or forcing you to use the scaleless gene in your future projects.
