Soft back?

[Camajestic]

Hey Everyone,

I went to the pet store to look for a dragon and they one i was looking at they called a soft back.

however, when trying to look into the " soft back" I am not finding anything. are they know as something else or was this misidentified?

not heard of "soft back" - maybe they were thinking "silk back" or "leather back" ??? who knows

I can't tell from the pictures if it's a leatherback or not.. I can tell you it is not a silkie from it's head.. leatherbacks have smaller scales close together and don't have spikes that are hard giving them a soft back plate.
So there are silkies that are like skin, microscale, leatherbacks, common or normals which are what you will typically find in petstores.

He does look like a Leatherback. If so he should not have any spiky scales on his back. It should feel close to or absolutely smooth.

Lol no problem, and usually as they grow older their beards get darker and darker. But that all depends on genes lol
