Super Scaleless Head, the Morph With no Scales

[Bogertophis]

I think they're weird looking. I personally don't like them.

Yeah, I agree. They're freaky to me too.

I understand the argument that proponents make- that they're only pets so it doesn't matter, but for me, part of what I love about keeping snakes is that I'm keeping a "wild" animal that can & would survive in the natural world too. I want to preserve them as they evolved, so if some of the wild species do go extinct from their many threats (from humans, loss of habitat, climate, & diseases that flourish in a warming world- such as the white nose disease in bats or the fungus that's disfiguring & killing snakes) if the worst happens, these animals don't disappear.

Other species have been returned to the wild with careful scientific assistance, & I'd like to see that pathway remain open. Scaleless snakes just wouldn't make it- I don't care how pretty or exotic something looks, I want the real-world-survivor-types, not some domesticated version.
