 Finally got pics of my frilled.

This is Rex.

He is an Australian and about a year old now, little small for his age due to having to keep his cage on the floor for the first 5 or so months i had him. Got him off the ground at my new place and he is growing like a freak. The pictures do not do this animal justice, and i couldnt get him to actually frill today



Got him a little excited here.




Just showing his color, its very strong reds and oranges mixed with some black and white flecks, very stunning.



Can see the orange streak under his eye in this photo.



His father and mother were both very large, father close to 3 feet and mother was very large. He’s gettign there

Your dragon is gorgeous! How did you land an Australian frilled? I love my NG frilled, don’t get me wrong, but I am always intrigued about those. Once again, GREAT looking dragon!

your dragon looks great/was that your cage in the back ground if so /I’ld say it’s time to graduate your lizard to a better feature or better vivarium!your lizard looks like a cross breed of somekind/or mabey even a high brid/but in any case it’s real beautiful!!

Sadly the camera is not very good, pictures are not nearly as vibrant as the real deal is. He was produced by Sundial Reptiles last year, and is one of the few breeders that actually work with Australian Frilleds. And I plan on setting a good group of pure aussies over the next few years, sadly being a college student means that my time gets butchered by all the other programs and organizations I’m involved in.

Visual differences from Australian to New Guinea frilleds is something that can be tough for people to spot. Queensland locals are often called Silvers, they are a dark animal with a strong gray to silver wash over then, and the light areas on their pattern/frill are a cool silver color. Northern Territory animals are larger overall, have good coloration on the frill and exhibit mainly khaki and tan colors. Australians will usually have the classic white cheek spot and a more subtly difference is their head is more "angular" than NG. Thats a tough aspect to explain but NG’s heads are just slightly rounder in appearance.

I’ll try to get a classic frill shot of him for you guys today if i can, just my iphone takes terrible pics so i rather use a camera.

DV yes i do plan on breeding him. Hoping to get at least 1 Aussie female this year for him, but i would prefer 2-3 depending on what i can find and how well some things work out.
