Scaleless snakes
I just started looking into them. I found this website that was pretty informative, without being too in-depth. Take a look, and let's start a discussion!
Scaleless Texas Ratsnakes - Notes and a photographic reference.
What are your thoughts? I think they're pretty cool. It is kind of weird to see the snakes without scales, but I'd totally own one!
I was looking a little more and this website contradicts the first and says the scaleless snakes lack keratin.
Soft epidermis of a scaleless snake ... [Eur J Histochem. 2007 Apr-Jun] - PubMed - NCBI
Here are some interesting random photos of scaleless normally scaled animals:
SAReptiles • View topic - Scale less Bitis arietans!
Bearded Dragons and other Creatures - Dachiu's Ruby & Upcoming Leatherback / Silkback Project (scales, skin, care, husbandry and temperature information)

Re: Scaleless snakes
Not a fan... they look like they would feel like a pinky mouse.
Having said that the only scaleless reps we have here are Death Adders and I'm not so keen to have a feel and test my theory.

Re: Scaleless snakes
Mixed feelings really. I think it really pushes the limits of "genetic creativity," for lack of a better term. On the other hand, I like things outside the norm. (Not Norm66. Lol)

Well I certainly hope you're not thinking INSIDE the Norm66. Anatomy is gross.

I admit, my mind went straight to the digestive tract with that post, but seriously, the human body is SO GROSS! Think about it: Feet, finger nails, arm pits, elbows, ears....

You're concerned with those? I'll go straight to the real weird ones.
Butthole and genitals

Re: Scaleless snakes
Honestly, I am not a huge fan of feet, at all. But even they can be sexy on some women. I'm perfectly fine with all the other parts of a woman you mentioned (when groomed properly, lol) I may be French, but..... I draw the line at body hair. Lol

People who get grossed out by feet have told me I have pretty feet lol. I think mine are gross but only because I go barefoot or in flip flops so they're always dirty
