Frilled Dragon Habitat
While a hatchling dragon could live in a 20-gallon aquarium for a short time, it will quickly need a larger enclosure. A 75-gallon aquarium or equal-sized enclosure is OK for one or two adult dragons. Screening should be used for proper ventilation, whether as a top on an aquarium enclosure or in the construction of a custom enclosure. During warm weather, bearded dragons can be kept in outdoor cages. Be sure the outdoor enclosure provides both sunny basking areas and shady retreats, as well as shelter from rain. Having access to the sun outdoors provides healthy UV. Frilled dragons like to climb, so some sturdy branches are welcome in their enclosures.
Frilled Dragon Handling and Temperament
Want to learn how to hold a Frilled dragon, or how to pick up a frilled dragon? Handling your frilled dragon is easy, if you do it correctly! Frilled dragons are generally quite docile and will tolerate handling better than other lizard species. This is especially true of adults that have spent their entire lives in captivity (of course, there may be exceptions). It’s not unusual to visit a reptile expo and see fat and happy frilled dragons lounging amid merchandise at vendor tables, or perched on their owners’ shoulders.
Frilled Dragon Lighting and Temperature
Frilled dragons like it pretty darn hot. A basking spot of about 100 degrees works well for them. The basking site can be provided by a spotlight (such as a mercury vapor bulb AVB) or a ceramic heating element, positioned over a rock, branch, etc. at one end of the enclosure. Keeping the spotlight at one end of the cage will allow your dragon to thermoregulate (move between a cooler end of the enclosure and the hotter end with the basking area).

The frilled lizard is largely arboreal, spending most of its time in the trees. Its diet consists mainly of insects and other invertebrates. It is more active during the wet season, which is when it breeds and spends more time near or on the ground. It is less observed during the dry season, during which it seeks shade in the branches of the upper canopy. The lizard uses its frill to scare off predators and display to other individuals.
Sexing Your Frilled Dragon
Please feel free to request a male or female lizard (or any combination thereof) when you order our medium and adult sized animals, but please be aware that we cannot guarantee the sex. However, we can guarantee that someone very experienced with reptiles will attempt to select the specific lizard(s) you are requesting.

I was a little skeptical over some of the reviews on google and wanted to initially cancel my order. I am so glad that I did not cancel my order as the dragons came perfectly! They were packaged so well that two days (due to fedex issues)in transit and they arrived healthy and very much alive. I would highly recommend EXOTIC-REPTILES and will be ordering again very soon! Thank you so much!!

Frilled dragon showed up healthy to my knowledge.But the customer service really sucks.I will not purchase anything else from this company.I texted them about information about my order someone text me back like 2 hours later.I reached out about my order and concerns about my order.and then never heard back from them again.Not a Company I’ll choose to never do business with them again. SAS- there are ZERO messages from you regarding anything – we just looked again, and nothing.

Everything went great, I was a little worried in the beginning, but it all turned out safe and sound, the frill is very shy and jumpy, which I understand after begin shipped from Florida to Texas, it likes to eat when nobody is around, so I let it be, but in conclusion I would recommend anybody to order here @exotic-reptiles if interested in such a iconic lizard.

I own a lot of bearded dragons and wanted to add a frilled to my collection, not only were the staff at EXOTIC-REPTILES very kind and helpful, they responded to my emails very quickly and provided great customer service for all my questions. I was so excited i couldnt sleep when my frilly was being shipped over night and the next day when i went to go pick up the package, i opened it and he jumped right out. He looked so healthy and happy, he was packaged in there perfectly. They had a heating pad in there with some styrofoam. I am so in love with my Teddy, thank you so much EXOTIC-REPTILES! I will order more!

My largest problem with ordering any live animal through the internet would be that they either arrive, Refusing to eat or are horrified of people. The baby Frilled Dragon I ordered? Ate the next day and is regularly eating. He drinks water perfectly and is the friendliest reptile I have ever owned! They are a great exotic, beginner reptile and I would recommend getting them from None other than EXOTIC-REPTILES.
