I've always heard people compare keeping frilled lizards to bearded dragons but I would rather ask people who keep and breed them first hand. If any of you have bred both I'd really like to hear from you. I've got a few questions...
1. Are they as easy to get to breed as the bearded dragons?
2. How fast can they mature to breeding size? My beardies are usually breeding within a year and a half.
3. Is the diet any more or less difficult? I've heard some places recommend the same diet and others recommend a more carnivorous diet and several of the books disagree as well.
4. How long would a 29 gallon tank last if I buy a trio of babies?
5. What would you say is the minimum cage size for an adult trio and do they use the ground space or vertical space more or equally?
Please don't mistake me for a newbie as I am only new to frilled dragons. I ask these questions here because I find that many printed sources are either out dated or just plain wrong on so many reptiles that I think it's better to get my info straight from the source. I want to hear what's tried and true not some authors theories after keeping one for a few months. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to answer even part of this and if you can recommend what you think is the best place to purchase is and why that would be helpful as well.

just thought I'd put a pic up for the heck of it, one of my babies from last year that I kept. She should be breeding early next year.
