This would be a situation where the benefits of feeding pre-killed would far outweigh any benefits of feeding live. I would think you would also keep it at your standard temperatures -- and just like any other ball, it would thermo-regulate itself. While it is likely that it could burn itself much easier due to the lack of scales, I would think that unless you have a thermostat malfunction it wouldn't be something to worry about.

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it as long as it can live and function properly just like any other snake. It's not like its missing it's eyes or has a kinked spine. The scaleless corns and rats that I've seen don't seem to have any health problems, and you gotta admit -- the lack of scales really makes those colors POP.

In the end it comes down to what every morph/mutation does -- personal preference. Some people might like it, some might not. As we've seen in a recent thread, some people are VERY much against something as little as the spider wobble. While others have no problems with breeding caramels that might come out kinked. Like it or hate it, noone is going to force you to buy it or breed for it.
