Anyone have a Scaleless tessera?

Do they really not have any scales at all? What's the draw of them? Are they more prone to injury or shedding issues without their scales? I've not heard of scaleless corn snakes before coming here, so I don't know much about them.

Although that French breeder who they originated with had all the basic morphs...

But he didn't have tessera until that year. Don traded him a slew of them towards the scaleless animals he bought, if I recall. They will happen this year I bet.

They have "some" scales, just very reduced in number and smaller. As far as I know, they have all had belly scales. The draw is their beauty, like any mutation. Mine sheds fine -I would never feed a scaleless snake a live adult mouse -but I very seldom feed live anyway. I have a thread about mine, included some pictures of sheds and so forth: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=128718
 
Nice! I look forward to seeing them.

There's scaleless everything now. If you go to a bigger show you can probably find at least scaleless Texas rats. You _have to_ hold one if you come across one! They are AMAZING!!!

I will correct this... NBK reptile has a lot of them and no i have seen and hold a full no scale snow scaleless... not even one belly scale! Completely crazy! But most of them do have belly scale or partial scale.
