Frilled Dragon

(chlamydosaurus kingii)

Where do they come from? Australia and New Guinea

What do they eat? Frilled Dragons will eat a varied of food items including; crickets, mealworms, waxworms, superworms, appropriate sized rodents, green leafy veggies, shredded carrots, turnips and squash and over ripe fruits. Not all Frilled Dragons will eat veggies. Please remember to use a calcium and a vitamin/mineral supplement when feeding your Frilled Dragon. Calcium three times per week and vitamin/mineral supplement at least once per week.

What type of housing do I need? A 20 gallon aquarium will work will for hatchling (new born and young) baby Frilled Dragons. As your Frilled Dragon grows you will need a larger terrarium. You can build your own terrarium as well with endless possibilities.

What type of cage decorations should I have? To keep your Frilled Dragon happy and healthy you will need a large water dish for soaking, bathing and drinking. The water will need to be changed daily as they will also defecate (poop) in there and we do not want them drinking that! Several branches for climbing to the basking spot, a hide to feel secure and a mulch substrate that will hold humidity.

What type of lighting and heating do I need? A basking spot as high as 100'F with a surrounding temperature of 75'F - 90'F. A cool spot is needed. A full spectrum UVB lighting that is unfiltered. Keep humidity between 50% and 65% but no more than 75% humidity as this will cause respiratory infections.
