Flame resistant enclosure

This post is for those of you that own Komodo dragons:

Do you build the enclosure out of fire proof material? I would think that when they breath fire they would burn down your house.

I had a frilled dragon but it’s fire breath didn’t have enough heat to burn through the treated wood.

Komodos dont breathe fire. Neither do frills.

No species of reptile does.

Thats just make-believe dragons.

My old water dragons and frilled dragons would get into fights. I had to use an extinguisher on them many times.

anyone else have garages or houses catch on fire?

Well...there is the matter of historical evidence.

That is, multiple societies that were widely separated tell stories of fire-breathing dragons. Why did they all chance upon the dragon?

Also...we can consider some biological evidence. There is a "fire-breathing" beetle called the bombadier beetle. Hydrogen Peroxide and Hydroquinone are contained in separate chambers in the beetle’s abdomen, from where it can be ejected to confront a predator with an explosive mixture reaching 212ºF...Pretty cool!

Lastly, there is some paleontological evidence that a skull arrangement could have accommodated "fire-breathing." In his delightful book Dinosaurs by Design, Dr. Duane Gish discusses how the hadrosaurs’ nasal cavities could easily have connected to chemical reserves in the hollow, horny crest. Perhaps Leviathan used this ability as a defensive weapon, just like the beetles.

Hmmmmm...???

THanks for letting us know that neither Komodos or Frills breathe fire L.I. Reptile rescue. It’s a darn good thing there are some smart people on here to correct our mistakes. DRZ i think it’s only fair that you admit you were wrong and apologize to L.I.

Just FYI L.I. is the only known repticzone member to be able to breathe flames to this date.

Unless all the animals in the world were descovored, and believe me, there are alot more left, then we would never REALLY know if there is no animal that breaths fire. Come on people, let’s remain optimistic (sp?).
