That's like the hairless cat. I've heard that hairless cats are a lot more work to care for. They don't have protection from the elements and such. You have to bath them and give them eye drops and stuff like that.
I would think a scaleless snake could have some potential health problems. Without the protection of the scales the substrate would have to be something that wouldn't hurt him, would his eyes be protected if the scales were gone, etc......
