Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I personally find them quite ugly and the idea is disturbing. I feel like if you truly care for your animal you would want it to be as healthy as possible.
I have heard varying reports of them having a higher rate of mouth infections from the mouth having trouble properly aligning and more or less getting gum rot. I want to point out that bold higher before I hear "I've had no problems so far". Just because you have had no issues doesn't mean that they don't tend to have a higher rate of occurrence.
I'll have to sift through my bookmarks and see if I have any of the threads saved but I have also heard from people that have bred them that they originally got the scaleless gene into corns was from texas rat snakes. Of course it would be hard to see.. they have similar body shapes and since it doesn't have scales it isn't hard to not see things you would see if the animal had scales and ...well looked like a true snake. Hybrids (especially colubrids and even more so in the rat snakes) are typically hard to guess what the parents were. I've seen many milk x king crosses that look like a king morph or a milk morph.
There are just to many possible negatives and only 1 positive (depending on the person). If "because it looks cool" is the only thing going for a breeding, with other negatives possible... then all you are is a breeder not a true herpetoculturist.
This is going the route of the show German Shepherds. All for an odd look and no care of overall health.

I don't think it is that fact that they are hybrids. More that they are physically deformed.

The ones that I worked with were 1.1 Texas Rats and 0.1 Everglades Rat... I do agree with the fact that they are overpriced, but anything that is new or a different color phase that has not been seen before is going to be high. Plus from what I have learned with the breeding of them is that not every baby is scaleless... They are unique if nothing else
