Question WHAT MAKES A DRAGON A "MICRO SCALE"?

WHAT EXACTLY MAKES A DRAGON BE CALLED A "TRUE" MICRO SCALED BARDED DRAGON? I'VE READ A "TRUE" MICRO SCALE HAS NO SIDE SPIKES, BUT I'VE SEEN DRAGONS LABELED MICRO SCALE (FROM VERY RESPECTED BREEDERS) THAT STILL HAVE SMALL SIDE SPIKES. SO ...WHATS THE REAL DEAL WITH MICRO SCALED?

There are two types of leather backs in P. vitticeps. There is a codom morph aka Italian leather and American leather. Then there is a recessive form of leather back also. A "true" microscale dragon is a visual representation of a dragon that is both a codom leather and a visual recessive leather.

It is pretty sick how many people have just slapped the term micro on any dragon they want to sell. All the time lately. You see WAY more fake micro ads than actual micros. Its turning into the new german giant.

Here is a pic of my Hypo Cawley Red Micro Scale.I assume mine is a true "micro" I got it from Where Dragons Dwell as an adult. Any one else have any pics of their micro scale dragons?

I tried, but our camera is not working. He is heading into shed anyway. Heres the ad we bought him from though. He is more red than orange like the pictures would have you believe

Nice looking dragon.I see yours has very little to no side spikes like mine. I think that this must be one of the main physical traits.

maybe you could ask the people you bought him from about it? I think some regular leatherbacks have smaller side spikes. I'm not sure if all micros have them completely absent like ours or not. Josh Dovenbarger would be the one to ask about that.

I managed to find this thread where he talks about them some, and has some pictures. His wording about the side spikes was "micros have very reduced side spikes". So maybe some of them have small ones
