That's an awesome animal! I hope it does well and thrives. It will be interesting if that proves out to be a heritable trait (granted they breed it). Thanks for sharing!

That animal is AWESOME. I use to work with scaleless ratsnakes and love the scaleless gene.
I'd give my right arm and leg for it if it was a western. Good luck to Glades.
I don't know if I'll ever get used to scaless reptiles, but it looks great. I like that head pattern too.

That's a cool lookin' critter. I've thought about giving scaleless rats a whirl, just haven't pulled the trigger get. It'll be neat to see what happens.

I want to know more about how they "produced" it. CB parents, WC parents, WC gravid female etc...lets get some background on the animal, that is what I want to know.

That is very cool! I knew there were some scaleless rat snakes and i think even water snakes, but I think that may be the first scaleless hog?

Yes, I know all about scaleless rats, but their genetics is entirely different than an Eastern Hognose which is why I said what I said. ;)

Wow that is awesome! Can't wait to see what they're able to do with that gene, hopefully it's genetic!
