main thing: I've read in searching the posts that you can sex a baby frilled... how? This one is TINY - maybe 2" in body.

Good dealon this baby, getting it from someone we kinda know who owns a bunch of critters and it's for HER, not for the animals... Asking $60 for the little one. (she feeds her lizards every 3-4 days, and they're all babies. I'm TRYING to help her learn, but she doesn't really care much). I'll see if I can get pics tomorrow night of her. She's got a TINY frill (maybe 1/2" from her head!), and there's BRIGHT yellows all over the underside of it! She's got large pores, tho I'm not sure what that may mean on frillies. What size are they at birth? How fast do these babies grow? I have a 20gal tall ready for this tiny baby, and the 45 gal will be evacuated as soon as the full-size cage is built for the other dragon.

My bigger one is about 5 1/2 inches in body now (does NOT like being measured), has the LARGE pores and the frill goes almost to his/her elbows. Also, there's one bump by the vent but when lightly sqeezing the sides of the tail it seems to go into two bumps that are connected... About what age might this one be? The belly is getting gorgeous - yellows and golden orange all over that are going towards reds!...

The baby is my daughter's birthday gift (our big frill is her favorite to handle - with help, as she's about to turn two...). And no, I don't expect her to take care of it! lol! She's REALLY smart, and will help me with the cleaning and feeding and watering, but it'll be my issue for about a year or two. On the other hand, she handles all our animals with as much respect that I could ask ANYONE to have with the critters. But I'd like to know what to expect from this baby for my baby.

Thanks a ton! We like critters... 56 now, 57 with the new FD... lol!
