New Guinea or Australian?

This is my "Male" Frilled dragon, hes about 8 months old, I'm pretty sure he's a New Guinea, but does anyone know for sure just by looking at his frill? -Josh Topp

Thanks mizzy, Can you breed New Guinea's with Australians? what do you get out of that other than a mutt.? _Josh Topp

You will get animals that will eventually show more or less of the Aussie trait. they wont be Hets or anything like that. Crosses are common when people say they have pure aussies. Unfortunately there are only a few pure animals. I would say 90% of these can be traced back to the original person who brought them in. Dont get me wrong, they are out there, more than we all think. People just have them and stay low profile.

Anyways white cheeks is not the only trait to look for. Reticulations/color in the pattern are also important. Just be honest wiht people if you cross the animals. hope this helps
Cheers,

Here is a link to a Northern Territory animal that I caught at the side of the road, Event the gray Queensland frillies I saw had obvious white cheeks you could see from a mile away.KB
