I couldn't resist. I went to a pet store in jax Florida to pick up a free to good home water dragon that needed a lot of extra care and had been wanting a frill since my wife first showed me what one was a couple years ago. I was at the pet store with my iguana Jaden on my shoulder and as I was walking up to the frills cage there were two of them looking out by the front edge watching us. I held Jaden up to see them and one jumped back, the other sat there face to face with an iguana 100 times its size, and it smiled, at least, i'm pretty sure it smiled. but it didn't move at all except to look back an forth from me to the iguana. i couldn't help it, i bought that one on the spot. It's been home with me for a week now. It eats really good and has decided that it's proper place is on my shoulder. the first night i had it home, when trying to put it in the home i built for it, it ran up my arm and snuggled in to my neck. each morning while i'm feeding our iguana, the two beardies and the water dragon, the frill rides around on my shoulder. I'll put it in its home during most of the day but in the evenings, i'll let her out to ride around on my shoulder for a couple more hours. I've taken a bunch of pictures of it and even, after sitting in front of the cage for an hour with a camera, and getting several missed shots, i got a picture of it yawning with its frill all the way out. I'll post more pictures as it grows and come here if i have any questions on its behavior. I named it Tarigen since it's graniTe colored.
