a couple weeks after i got my frilled dragon i decided to put him up to my year old male veiled chameleon. if you're unfamiliar with what veileds do when bothered then here it is. the veiled stands up on its back legs and crosses it's front legs, puffs up, opens it mouth and lunges with a hiss. so picture this, then a confused frilled dragon's reaction. it was quite funny. dunno if any of you care, i just thought it was quite humorous.

It was probably funny to see, but it is also going to put stress on both animals, especially the chameleon, and with them high stress = lower lifespan.
If you want to see your frilled stand up and flash its frill, point the metal end of a lightbulb at him. This works good when you need to take a photo, but it is still uneeded stress, so keep it to a minimum.
