Is there an absolute difference between the two lines of animal? And what exactly happened to the Derma? I know it was crazy-big in the community, but I haven't found a thread detailing the situation clearly. Not looking for debate, just honest straightforward answers.
one difference is that in the context of the deme ball, there was never a mention of scaleles head BPs. the ones from BHB are produced by scaleless head to scaleless head, for 25% fully scaleless. Also the ones from BHB dont have random scales scattered anywhere, they are 100% scaleless. So i think its different genes at work.

About what happened to the deme ball, i didnt hear anything too specific, what i gather is that something happened to the breeder and the whole collection was lost. we dont even know if the deme was a random singularity or something genetic.
