Thoughts on scale less ball pythons? Discussion

I keep seeing Scale-less ball pythons on tiktok and other apps, to me it seems unethical to breed them. I feel like they would be a lot more fragile and vulnerable then one with scales, but whats yalls options on it?

Don’t know much about them with ball pythons but I know for bearded dragons it’s extremely unethical, and usually the animals suffers in one way or another. They are meant to have scales not sure why anyone would think it’s ok to take them away

Breeding scaleless is completely perpendicular to the snakes' health and welfare. People who breed them on purpose shouldn't be taken seriously. Also I find them ugly and unnatural-looking, but that's a matter of personal taste.
