Actually, frillies need more of an arboreal cage. Unfortunately, there are not many pre-made cages that are good for frillies. It is best to build your own. 4ft high x 3 feet wide is pretty standard.

this is true. rather than reading your info in a beardie book you should check out some web pages that are more specific to frilleds. i have mine in a 60 gal. right now but it is only a couple of months old. it will be going in my 4x3x3 cage that my blue tegu is ocupying now after a few months.
