I have a 4 month old dragon who I love to bits but my husband and I are concerned that she might be retarded (sorry if that's not PC). She tries to eat everything, even if it's clearly not a food item. Paper towels, my fingernails (if they're painted a bright color she'll grab me, clamp on, and won't let go until I pry her mouth open). I have her crickets in a Kricket Keeper. When I shake the crickets into her enclosure she'll try to jump out to the Kricket Keeper instead of eating the crickets that are right in front of her. She won't grasp the fact that the fish tank is made of glass and no matter how many times she tries to eat the fish she cannot get to them. She has a pillow with all kinds of baby animals on it. She always tries to eat the lion, ONLY the lion, and the thing is made out of flannel so I'm sure it doesn't taste good. She eats her own shed skin. She's otherwise very active, alert, inquisitive, and has a voracious appetite. Like I said earlier, she'll only bite if she's going after bright colored fingernails and we've never seen her display her beard.
