Ah, and easy answer question, they do not/did not exist. On a side note, Humpy, please let me know where you heard of Mayan cultures believing in dragons, if you have a lot of information on this please U2U me with it. I have read many books on Mayan history and have never heard mention of a dragon, therefor this is very intriguing to me. Thanks.
Look now at the behemoth, which I made along with you:
He eats grass like an ox. See now, his power is in his *stomach* muscles. He moves his tail like a cedar
With his terrible teeth all around? His rows of scales are his pride
His sneezings flash forth light. And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. Out of his mouth go burning lights; Sparks of fire shoot out. Smoke goes out of his nostrils, as from a boiling put and burning rushes. His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth
Though the sword reaches him, it cannot avail: Nor does spear, dart, or javelin. He regards iron as straw
He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a pot of ointmint. He leaves a shining wake behind him;

Dragons once did exist on this plane, however during the Christian crusades they were chased from this plane onto the Astral Plane.

The Chemical burn is quite plausible. Just as the saliva in our mouths help break down food, could it be possible that red dragons perhaps either used a strong acid as mentioned above or even perhaps something like lye? It does make me pause to wonder how a blue dragon breathes lightning/electricity?

Eels and some types of jellyfish can run a high current through their skin. It could also be an abhorrent function of their nervous system using their teeth as an anode or cathode allowing a discharge to strike the ground or nearest negative charge. So even blue dragons could exist!
