Hi Stan.
The scales will not "shed out". General opinion is that they are a result of inbreeding. Usually, it seems, this inbreeding happens as breeders try to amplify "red-throat" characteristics. My personal recommendation would be that you find a completely unrelated snake, from a different breeder, and preferably of the opposite color phase, to breed your snake with.
Other than that caution, I would not expect the condition to be harmful in any way.
