Why would just about everyone see an ad for a Burmese python with no eyes for sale for $4000 bash the heck out of the person selling it, but on the other hand we should be bowing down to the almighty scale "less" heat-pit-less ball python? Is this a double standard or not? And why or why not. Over the past 10 years I have seen various examples (not in person, but photos) of scaless snakes. I can't ever recall them reproducing and being proven "genetic". I also haven't seen those animals around lately either. Don't get me wrong, I e-mailed the guy with the eyeless Burm and told him that I thought he was doing a disservice to the reptile community and told him to expect about 100 e-mails just like mine.

I think that maybe sometimes we, as reptile enthusiasts, get a little caught-up in a trend (i.e. new ball morphs.

This kind of trait may not be one that you want to pass onto future generations without careful consideration. Just my $0.02
