DRAGON AND ME
"If you want to conquer the world, you best have a dragon..."
Welcome to the website of @dragon.and.me, wanderer!
My name is Tamerlan, and I am an Albino Supercrimson Iguana. I am one of the rarest artificially created iguana morphs.
I hatched June 2018 and was born blind because of an albinism.
My dad, Alexey Kashpersky is the Creative Director in the VFX storytelling company.
3 years ago we started our journey by creating an Instagram account called "Dragon and Me" and during this time we have grown into a huge community with over half million dedicated dragon-lovers and friends across social media.
Our goal is to educate people, share rays of positive emotions, inspire with nature's incomparable beauty and never stop being creative along our journey.
While we treat our old friends with care and love, we are always happy to meet new people and are SO much open to new, brave and positive initiatives! :)

Help Ukraine
On February 24, Russia attacked Ukraine. Moscow strikes targets in Kyiv, Kharkov and other areas. According to preliminary data, more than 80 thousand civilians were killed by the Russians, in the Сity of Mariupol alone. And there are tens of such cities! These monsters are killing my friends, my loved ones. They simply break into our homes or shoot down civilian evacuation convoys. They killed my teacher. The person who gave me a profession in hand and shared his knowledge with me for years. They killed my school and university friends... It's very hard to talk about what's going on.
My country and my home are under barbarian attack right now.
The Ukrainian spirit cannot be broken. Russia has been trying to destroy Ukrainian nationality and self-identity for centuries, but it has not succeeded. I unconditionally believe in the victory of my people, our army. But more than ever, we need your support.
UNITED24 - was launched by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the main venue for collecting charitable donations in support of Ukraine. Funds will be transferred to the official accounts of the National Bank of Ukraine and allocated by assigned ministries to cover the most pressing needs.
Come Back Alive - The Foundation purchases equipment that helps saving the lives of the military, including thermal imaging optics, quadcopters, cars, security, and intelligence systems.
UAnimals - saving animals from the war. Only united can we stop the suffering.
