When I first toured my home, I remembered hearing a soft squeaking underneath the back patio. The realtor laughed away my questions about rats, and took me to see. We had to crouch to see it, but there was a grass-green dragon peering at us as we peeked into its home. There was a small horde of shiny rocks surrounded by a grass clipping lined nest of twigs. The tiny dragon huffed out a puff of smoke at us. I wish I could say I made a logical choice of home, but...having a backyard dragon was something I had dreamed of since my best friend's cousin took me to see hers. A few months later and I was moving in.
I've learned a lot about backyard dragons in the past few years, and want to help anybody else that's looking for advice on caring for your own backyard dragon:
