Here's my latest addition to the household, another Frill-neck Lizard (dragon). Hopefully this little gal (?) will grow up quick and be a good friend and partner to Chopper.

At the moment they have their own enclosures - Chopper is now 480grams and still growing nicely, whereas Maggie is probably around 10grams.. :eek: (haven't gotten around to weighing her yet).

Wow, she is gorgeous! I met my first Frilly a few weeks back at a pet store, I was quite smitten :heart: I love the second picture where she is poking up from behind the water dish (at least I think that her). Do you have any recent pictures of Mr Chopper?

Thanks! Yes, that's her hiding behind the kidney dish (where I'm putting her crickets)

These are some fairly recent pics of Chopper, not sure if i've posted them here before or not.. :lol:

Wow!:eek: Congrats on the new girlie! Chopper is amazing, and great viv for them. :highfive: He looks like he could take a finger off if he so chose to..:)
Is this also known as the J.C. lizard, the one who 'walks on water'?

Thanks Carole. That viv is just for her - Chopper is longer than it... :eek:
:hehe:

The J.C lizard is another species from Asia - Frilly's do enjoy running on their hind legs (funny as!) but cant do it on water. :)

So...
What is the reason for the frill?
Do males have territorial displays?
Where are they from?
Will these two get along?
What do they eat?
Expensive?
What is the purpose of life?:eek:
:lol:

Reason - to scare off predators
Territorial Displays - ? Probably.. lol
Where from - Northern Australia and PNG
Get Along - ? We'll see... Best chance is if they're male and female, next best is if they're 2 girls. Worst case is 2 males.
Food - Live insects in the most part. Crickets, Wood cockroaches, Superworms/Mealworms.
Expensive - Relatively
Purpose of Life - To LIVE IT TO THE MAX :dance4:
