    Ok so I'm going to be a wet blanket here. I'm less excited with every version of the scale less I see. It's basically taking all the xantiphore aka yellow pigment out and replacing it with varying tones of greyscale. Take every animal that has bright vivid colors and turn them different shades of gray and grayer. So for me this is great for normal ball pythons but its a waste on Combos or morphs.

    Could be true for most color mutations however there is still a lot of work to be done, I believe that Albino, Pied and Clown are where the wow effect will be for those into scaless BP.

    Scaleless corns weren't so great either in the beginnings now that you see Albinos, Tesseras, Axanthics, Hypos it's a lot better.

    To get back to the original while not a fan of the scaleless BP, this guy right there I would trade my kidney for, just because it is unique.

    Maybe but again things like albino and even pied to some extent rely on color to make them stand out. Take the yellow out of an albino and what are you left with? Pied might be neat and clown yea. But so much of the market is based on vibrant colors these days that something that removes color while neat to me is a game changer. Well ok it is because now I don't want one AS bad as I did.
