If I'm not mistaken, scaleless animals are a random mutation much like albinos. It's hereditary, but knowing the animals he used to produce won't help shed any light as their morphs are going to be unrelated to the scaleless mutation.

Very true, but he said, 'my breeding' so I was just curious as to how he did it. Its intriguing, is all. :)

Is this the only one you've produced? Have you gotten reduced scaling before? I know that scaleless animals pop up randomly, but I think they have proven to be recessive in other animals? I could be wrong, but I know they can be reproduced once discovered (rat snakes, corn snakes, ball pythons). I'd still love to know more about this animal.

It is the first produced Scaleless. Yes, it is known in snakes. No one has quality Leopard gecko Scaleless like me :) Beautifully eat. On be beautiful and full of life. Scaleless should be co-dominant.

I found this info on the scaleless rat snake: The scaleless Texas Rat Snake is a simple recessive gene which was proved out in 1990. The amount of scalelessness is variable within a clutch, some having more and some having less. They still have ventral scales but have a form of cleft down the center but they still provide protection.


Since yours is the only produced so far, what makes you think it will be a co-dominant trait? Is yours a male or female? I'm assuming you'll be test breeding to see if it can be reproduced. I'm really looking forward to following this project.

I'm one of those people who are uncertain on scaleless reptiles. Part of me thinks they are very cool, but the other part worries about what types of issues may pop up with them. I think that it's probably safer with species that don't need UVB like leopard geckos.

There are two opinions. One that is as co- dominant a second opinion that is recessive.
My Scaleless is active and growing. It will be interesting to see how it grows. Again, you make a photo. Today fancies trousers off the skin. :)

will be good to check the breeding.
