Does anyone have any experience with the care of small, white dragons? What foods do they prefer?

What is the best way to determine their mood: head movements? Wings? Tail? Vocalizations?

Specifically, how can you tell when they are about to bite?

[Not that he's failed to tell he was about to be bitten a few times already. Of course not.

There is a picture of a small, snaky-bodied white dragon with a ruff running all the way down its long neck attached. In the picture, the dragon is flaring its wings over a plate of raw hamburger with a look of serious annoyance and its mouth wide open in a silent kyuuuu!]

Have you tried cooking it?

[reformedsinner]

I don't think that answers the question of "how to care for it" very well!

I appreciate the attempt, of course.

[existentialcrisis]

Oh, I meant the meat. I apologize, I didn't think eating the dragon was an option.

[reformedsinner]

Yes, I did try cooked meat for him, thank you. It's possible he's not hungry, I suppose.

[existentialcrisis]

That is possible! He may be dead.

[reformedsinner]

Aren't we all? It doesn't seem to be a problem for most of our appetites.

[existentialcrisis]

But dragons are different, aren't they?

Well, I can't claim experience with any that small. The only dragons I've seen were big enough to fly around on, and yours doesn't look like it'd be much good for transportation.

[reformedsinner]

I would be very surprised if he could carry a person!

What sort of care do large dragons need?

[existentialcrisis]

Lots of exercise and occasional long-distance travel, I've heard. And meat. I'm not sure they were particular about what kind. I've never kept one as a pet, though.

[reformedsinner]

Oh well, that sounds like it won't help me very much. Thank you anyway!

[existentialcrisis]

Good luck.
