Has anyone seen the Derma Ball??????

RaulGomez May 24, 2005 10:39 AM

Its in on the VPI braggers link..

Seems kinda cool......

It only has a couple of scales on its sides but none its head or back.....

I wonder if its genetic?????

Would make a killer albino I think...

Very Weird. I'm not sure I buy it just yet. The pics LOOK photoshopped. That and the fact that the poster is "annonymous" also takes away from the credibility. Not sure I buy the pics....at least until somebody credible comes forward saying they've seen the animal.....just to fake for me. Anyone else agree?

RaulGomez May 24, 2005 11:15 AM

They are out there. I know that they have problems shedding but they live happy normal lives.

I think we are going to see more and more weird things in ball pythons. There is just too much inbreeding going on....

Fatal gene here we come lol....

I think its real... we shall see

I have seen the scaleless rat snakes. I guess we'll see...

JaredHorenstein May 24, 2005 11:54 AM

I personally think that scaleless snakes are quite amazing...........and to finally get to see a scale-less ball is just simply crazy!

Look at that things head.............man-o-man.............that is definaelty the coolest ball i have ever seen in my time.......and id have to say....that yes.....those pics are quite REAL........as is the snake.........

As for the poster being "anonymous"..............that only means he/she does not want 8,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bashing him. He/She posted the pics for all of us to enjoy.......but of course as we know.........the jealous bash!

Enjoy the pics of a tremendously rare beauty.

Just my $.02
