In my post below I address both issues and I do think that they are both problems, until research (on this species) proves otherwise you have to address it as a problem you cannot go on speculation.

I dont think not having scales is the same as not having hair - scales have much more use and are much more important to a snake than say hair does to a cat or person. It'd be more like missing your upper dermal layer (the top layer of your skin). How would you feel without it? The pits or lack there of is another issue which I also addressed and spare you that again.

Fact is that no one really knows what these deformities actually do to the snake. I keep reading "Does it eat s**t and shed?" Is that really all you are concerned about? What happened to quality of life?
