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
In captivity it's fine, however some scaleless morphs are detrimental to survival, there are no safe scaleless ball python morphs for example, this is a rat/corn snake, they have one of the benign ones
An actual, honest to God, trouser snake!
Show this picture to my wife telling her "look, a hairless snake" and she was like "wow! Wait a second! All snakes are hairless!!"
Scales are made of keratin, they are basically hair!
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. 😅

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.
Lewdle is actually a game. It's Wordle but only with naughty words.

Cute, lil snake needs protection
This immediately reminded me of that one scene from the boys with the supe with the giant schlongadong
I didn't know this was possible, is the image real?
TIL the breed for Mr Bigglesworth
This guy is really annoying when you first fight him
every aspect of a snake is, in fact, the result of a mutation
Technically true, but I'm thinking they're trying to explain this isn't from a species of scaleless snakes (yet)
What about the aspects of a fish
Does it feel like normal skin? If so, why is it allowed to live?
Nah I’m kidding, pretty cute.
... I should call him.
I heard these type of snakes will spit a thick venom if provoked.
Look out it's a hidewinder.
That thing looks hilariously confused. Like, it's just there and looking at you like o_o
I like to imagine that this one wood flake near its mouth is a goofy tooth.
