As written Detik.com, Monday (26/2), the difference between the two is true in size. Black dragon tends to be smaller than the dragons and the color is also darker. Black dragon is a bluish black color with a gray stomach and a blue tongue.
Well, obviously it's all. However, although the black dragon does not bite and have a toxic saliva as dragons, it's how to hold a lizard of that size! Ha ha
