I want to get a frilled sometime soon and I have a couple questions..

How long could a baby frilled live in a 29 gallon tank? What about a 55 tank?

How hard are they to take care of? What do they eat/What temps do they need/humidity/how much can you handle them/etc.

How big do they get? Are they easily tamed?

I've read some caresheets on them but some of them say diff. things soooo... yeah

Thanks

these sites might help answer most of your questions. i think the 29 or 55 will last you a little while before you have to make a more appropriate cage for their size. some people say that they are sensitive/delicate like chameleons in reference to stress and handling. you have to work with them because they are known to revert to being "wild". read what you can and determine if a frilled dragon is right for you. they make nice pets though.

I have a frilled dragon, and its the bee's knees!! I raised one to adulthood and decided (big regrets) to let him go to a breeding program, he was an awesome, very tame, exceptional animal, he is happy now with his three girls. I find frilleds to be very easy and completely uninclined to bite. I am no expert by any means, but have owned them and can speak from my experience. They will eat crickets but very little greens or pellets if any at all. As far as an enclosure, get something tall vs long, they love to be up high, just not so high that they can climb on the screen top and get a burn. The best info I have found is from www.sundial.com. I got my frilled from www.mbreptiles.com, I have bought two from MB Reptiles and they came to me super healthy and very tame. To tell you how tame they are, my lil one likes to sleep in my shirt and seems pretty content to be there after only a week with me. They seem to require moisture so a misting system is really nice, otherwise you can just spray them regularly and keep a dish of clean water available at all times. I keep my youngster on papertowels, easiest way for me. They are skittish by nature, but once they know you, they are at ease and rarely frill out at all. Check out my pics
Hope this helps, good luck and keep us posted...

Awww its so cute!

I don't think I'm going to be able to get one anytime too soon... we just got 2 more beardies over the weekend and we're running out of room We're planning on getting our own place sometime in the next year and when that happens, we're gonna have plenty of room for things. Wooo!
