i really want to buy a frilled dragon, i already have alot of animals (bearded dragon, chinchilla, headgehog, ect.) and am pretty sure i can handle a frilled, but i first i would love to hear the opinions of other frilled dragon owners. do they make good pets? are they hard to take care of? and are they vicious?

The worse part of owning a frilled dragon is.. you will need a huge enclosure to keep them as adults and they require humidity, not super high, but nothing that regular mistings wont cure. Yep, that's all. Frilled dragons are not usually aggressive or mean. In fact, they are quite skittish by nature. They have wonderful vision and can easily be spooked by things you wouldn't even notice. When this happens, they will hide and look very dark. My frilled will eat crickets, supers, mealworms and even the canned crickets, I hope to add pinkies to this soon. Most care sheets tell you they will eat veggies, not so with mine, but canned cat food is tasty... sometimes. IMO they aren't hard to care for at all. My frilled will hang out on my shoulder like most beardies, they love to hide in my hair. Ok, I hope this helps you. The main thing with any reptile is to get as much info before making the purchase and to be dedicated to their well being. You are on the right track by asking.
