They are the exact same species, the NG is basically the island version...hence it is smaller and less colorful. Yes they can be housed together, but this raises more questions, such as how large your animal is, is it male or female, how old is it, how much space do you have to accommodate the animals. Yes they can be bred together, but most breeders rather not mix them because you are just making the Australian blood less usable by other breeders, personally i wouldn’t want to breed hybrids unless i was making a hybrid line (which in my mind is a waste of time and eggs). People want pure Australians for many reasons, mostly because they are so difficult to come by unless you live in Australia. Hybrids will be smaller than pure Aussies, less colorful and for the money you could buy several pairs of NG’s for just one Aussie. Not to mention the small numbers of Aussies that are being released from breeders and the wait list you would need to be on to get one. Australian frilleds are bred by a small number of people in america, it took me close to 2 months talking to people and some good contacts to find a list of 5. I’ve been dealing with herps since i was a kid and have over 12 years of experience with breeding herps and know alot of big named people who helped me get some of those names and numbers. Several of them are private collectors who dont breed and sell to the public, they do it for fun and just like the joy of it, their animals get donated to zoo’s and other collections... most of them in Europe.

I personally spent $1,000 dollars for my male. The breeders who produced him and his clutch mates were asking around 1500 to 2,000 dollars, pretty sure the females were in the 2k range. Sundail wont be producing anymore this year since their breeders are too old to produce.
