Silkbacks scaleless?

Dragon83 Aug 10, 2009 09:27 AM

Hi everyone,

do silks have scales? I heard that silks have particular scales all over the body. Is that right or normal? Because in every descriptions silks are descript as completely scaleless, also spikes are completely absent. What is now right?
Or is it a "quality" problem as by leatherbacks, some are smoother some are not.
About some clearing I would be very happy.
Thanks, Kevin

So all silkbacks have scales if I understand right? Its normal,right?
It means that is not a "quality" thing?
Thanks,Kevin
