    Very strange.....It just seems like it wouldn't be good for them to have no scales....

    It's not. Scales protect the skin.

    All of the scaleless snakes I have seen retain their ventral scales. I haven't seen more than a handful so that doesn't mean they all keep their ventral scales, just as far as my personal observation goes.
