It seems like this would negatively impact the health of the snake. Do we have any scale-less snake experts?
Not an expert, but I have heard that this isn’t a big deal for the snake. Scaleless rat snakes (which I believe the picture to be) have been found in the wild doing pretty alright. There is a benefit to be had from scales, but in captivity I imagine it is alright.
Pretty sure I heard it from a video by All Canadian Reptile Girl
I love the attempt at providing a source, it’s a lot more than I do usually
A concept of a source
I happen to be a scaleless snake expert, as a result of my extensive experience.
The trick with hairless snakes is you have to keep them warm. Too little heat, and this guy will go completely rigid.
Imagine an icicle made of blood, with a snake built around it. That’s your hairless snake with too little heat.
Beyond that’s its basic hairless snake stuff: clothing, thermal tattoos, an endless supply of hairless rats, and little snakeweights to help them stay buff.
It’s not easy raising these special creatures, but it’s very rewarding once you get over the unmitigable horror of feeling them crawl around your shoulders, and their habit of whispering as you shudder.
Because of their lack of scales, they’re unable to vocalize, and hence they speak in a hoarse whisper.
I prefer a “Nudle” ☺️

Shouldn’t it have softer bedding than wood chips?
I know right? I keep thinking it needs a blanket too but then I realize that it’s cold blooded. 😅
So an electric blanket
I like snakes, but this makes me weirdly uncomfortable
This is the snake equivalent of breeding brachycephalic dogs. It’s bad for the animal and bad for the hobby.
I always get really upset whenever I’m reminded of Twistey Cats.
I thought snakes needed their scales to move?
Cute, lil snake needs protection

He looks more conscious somehow. I think I’ve got mammalian in-group bias. He just looks like more of a little bro than a regular snake does.
Like a dog that got turned into a snake and is now like wut
This immediately reminded me of that one scene from the boys with the supe with the giant schlongadong
TIL the breed for Mr Bigglesworth
This guy is really annoying when you first fight him
Does it feel like normal skin? If so, why is it allowed to live?
Nah I’m kidding, pretty cute.
I didn’t know this was possible, is the image real?
