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!]

How odd. But yes, I'd imagine so. Arriving somewhere you don't expect would be starting for anyone.

I realize you don't know me and you've undoubtedly had a number of requests by now, but I seem to have a lot of experience with dragons. Could I come by and meet him?

[reformedsinner]

Yes, if he doesn't mind. He seems to be all right with visitors so far.

What sort of experience have you had with dragons?

[tachyonme]

To be honest, I don't remember. But when I look at him, I just know. I know what his scales should look like if he's healthy or if he hasn't eaten in a while. I know what foods he might prefer or what he's likely to stay away from.

Well, not this particular dragon, of course, but in general. But it's the most sure I've felt about anything so far, so that must mean something.

[reformedsinner]

Ah. You're a shinki. I apologize for asking a sensitive question.

[tachyonme]

It was a logical question to ask. It's more frustrating than anything.

[reformedsinner]

I understand. I'm one as well.
