I'm not sure what to say. I honestly never heard of such a thing. I'm guessing this is what happens when you inbreed way to many times?

Scott,
Scale less snakes have been around for over a decade. Recently the western diamondback has become a hit with breeders and scale less morphas are now available. The snakes are not completely void of scales, usually there is a dorsal row of scales down the back, and several around the head area. Some of the snakes are rattle less. Most idividuals need extra humidity and require a hide box stuffed with damp sphagnum. Ecdysis is also problematic as many snakes fail to shed all of the skin. The texture of the scale less snake is odd, feeling almost rubber-ish and dry.
On the market over the years I have viewed scale less western diamondbacks (albino & normal), mole kingsnakes, northern watersnakes, black ratsnakes, garters, eastern milksnakes and puff adders. I am sure they may be others that were not advertised.

That is one freaky looking snake.
I have seen photos of scale-less Death Adders, and they looked very cool. But they still had the brown and white banding.
Best Regards
