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.

Awesome! I have a couple of the American smoothies (AC Reptiles lines). Love the way they look!
Beth, the leatherbacks are missing the large "chip" scales. It will become more obvious as they get older. The skin will appear smoother...hence the name "leatherback".

A smoothie is a dragon without the larger chip scales on it's back...you know the ones that are a little bigger then those surrounding them and stick up a little higher. Those scales, as a dragon gets older very often interupt the fine lines in a pattern on a dragons back. A smoothie does not have these or has a reduced number or size so even when adult it shows it's pattern as crisply as when a baby. It is also a much smoother dragon...hence the name...lol. When you mate 2 unrelated smoothies together you will have roughly 1/3 normal, 1/3 smoothie and 1/3 silkie or silk back. Silks have no raised scales at all! Their color and pattern is extremely vivid as a result.
I believe a smoothie is the same as a leather back if I have it correctly.
My other answer was going to be that a smoothie is a blended concoction usually consisting of some sort of fruit...but I thought I would give you a break....this time....lol.
