I want to know if it still has eyecaps and if it can still move properly.
Boas go without heat pits, and so do woma pythons as well as scaleless rattlesnakes. Considering some morphs are actually blind (super lesser BEL anyone?) I don't see that huge of a deal there. (I believe the skin on that section of the face is what actually picks up the infrared, therefor until it's tested in the lab, I wouldn't rule it out.)
