BHB gives info on some scaleless concerns

[OhhWatALoser]

I do get that, it's not like it's going to compromise it's ability to survive in captivity, but I do believe they rely on their pits as a very important way in which they perceive the world. It's not usually a respectable practice to breed other types of animal with known problems (deaf, blind etc), even if they do just fine in captivity. I suppose it's more of a moral issue than anything else, but one that should probably be addressed. I don't know where I stand on it, both because I haven't really given it a lot of thought, and also I am not really sure how the lack of actual pits changes the way the perceive things, or if it really has an impact, but given the pin-hole camera analogy, I would assume it does. I know many snakes do not have IR sensing pits, but those that do have evolved to come to rely on them. Not all mammals have colour vision but I certainly wouldn't want to give mine up.

Again, I'm not saying I have an issue with it, but to just say "If it eats what does it matter?" seems rather dismissive, is all.

Before bhb let some info out, all people had to say is it couldn't find food because it didn't have heat pits and the other big issue was no belly scales so it couldn't move.

obviously it can move and it is eating, so what issues are left with the heat pits? its not being dismissive, its a question.

Also I am color blind and I do just fine (btw does not mean i see in black and white)
