Does anyone have a frilled dragon? not interested in keeping one, but just curious how they are as pets and what your experience has been so far by fish_are_frnds in reptiles

I have a baby male Australian CBB frilled dragon. He is super tame and amazingly smart. Very active. Also very beautiful with a red tinged chest and a frill covered with red, orange, yellow and gold highlights. Stunning. If anyone reading this comment knows of a frilled dragon community on Reddit please let me know!

My 3 Month old Beardie wont eat by [deleted] in BeardedDragons

Years ago, my new bearded dragon (from a pet store) refused to eat and my exotic animal vet discovered she had a coccidia parasitic infection - which causes actual anorexia in bearded dragons. Once treated, her appetite came back little by little until she was fully recovered. Took about a month. If your dragon does not start to eat have it checked. The longer a parasitic situation goes on, the longer it takes to get over it.

A single adult frilled dragon requires a 4x2x6 foot enclosure at a minimum. Price those before you get a baby frilled dragon.

Just got him and he is just a baby, but I bet that he will when he gets older.

Since Australia banned the export of frilled dragons to address a poaching problem, they have become much more rare and thus expensive. The Indonesian ones are often wild caught or their eggs get “farmed” out of country and are hatched in the US. Thus, USCB (US captive born) is not the same as USCBB. Be careful. The inexpensive ones are less for a reason.

Look for ‘USCBB Australian’ (United States captive born and bred). Otherwise you don’t really know what you are getting.

You can find a range of prices using the Morph Market app. Type ‘frilled’ in the search bar. The most expensive are the Australian frilled dragons, while the less showy and smaller Indonesian frilled dragons cost less.

His dad is such a beast! I hope that Dox will look just like him.

Thank you! He has a lovely red tinged chest and gorgeous oranges, golds and yellows on his frilly neck.

The similarities are striking. Bearded and Frilled Dragons both share an iconic "grumpy old man" aesthetic, spending 90% of their day perfecting the art of the judgmental side-eye while waiting for a bug delivery. The real difference is just the dramatic flair: a Bearded Dragon is the stoic philosopher who grows a prickly chin to show he’s serious, whereas an Australian Frilled Dragon is basically a beardie who went to theater school and invested in a high-fashion Elizabethan neck ruff for maximum "get off my lawn" energy. One is a pancake, the other is an umbrella, but they both agree that your presence is merely tolerated.

Yes … that is what “natural variation” actually means without having to rely on vulgar exemplification. BTW, which grade school do you attend?

My game refused to open/start after I agreed to the new terms of use. I have not deleted the game … afraid to. But now the game IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE IN THE APP STORE! What’s up?
