Frilled Dragon In-Depth Care Guide 

"They have a much higher heat and humidity requirement than... ...basking temerature of 110 °F..." Ackie owner: [chuckles quietly]

Heyyy first ad on an uncharted video congrats! Also damn you I was just about to film a frilled care guide 😂

Best care video iv found so far! Thanks!

Good vid. Setting up my first frilled cage. Lots of useful info.

Such an awesome care video, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on this species! Getting my first frilly tomorrow, I’m an advanced reptile keeper, but this species was always daunting for me. After watching this I realized I definitely handle this husbandry. ☺️👍🏻

14:46: No. UVB CFL's actually do give off a decent amount of UVB. It's not comparable to the peak output given of by mercury vapor bulbs, but it's pretty omnidirectional (unlike Hg bulbs) and, when coupled with a good reflector to concentrate the light onto a baking spot, can exceed a Ferguson zone of 2 at a distance of about 10 in. This should be adequate for most baking species. Definitely get the highest output CFL you can, but they're completely serviceable for 120 gal or small (assuming the animal comes to the baking site frequently). Also, if you have more than a couple bulbs running at any given time, get a UVB meter or Ferguson index meter (i.e. a UVB meter with filters that mainly pass the short wave UVA and long wave UVB responsible for D3 synthesis). You'll find that most (but not all) brands continue outputting at least 50% of their starting UVB for well over a year which can save on bulb replacement cost. Do stay away from LED UVB. As of 2022 when I last investigated this, the bulbs I got started off almost dangerously bright, but degraded to almost undetectable levels in the span of 2 to 4 months.

Got mine today, first frilled but not first reptile. Great video.

You sir have earned a subscriber, nice videos

Useful one thank you . Now i want one ❤️❤️❤️

I've had my Australian Kimberley Frill-Necked Lizard for a few months now and your video has helped me immensely. Cheers mate!

Love this lizard. Good job!

THANKS FOR THIS VID I'm planning on getting a frilled dragon this will probably help

frilled dragons are tiny versions of dilophosaurus 🤩

awesome vid

Good vid thanks! I was misting one and I think it got a fungal infection on it's frill so now I syringe water them

Great video

If you have the room, a shower cubicle (adapted) would make a brilliant enclosure. I can't remember the guys name now but I saw a reptile collector who had done this and it looked amazing and they don't cost that much in comparison to ready made enclosures 👍

Awesome! you really helped me to understand a bit more the proper care to these animals. For basking Im gonna try Arcadia DH Projector 50w for my 120x60x120cm cage combined with T5 and Led, have you tried it? You earned a subscriber! keep showing these f dragons!

I got a frilly yesterday as an early graduation present and this is my first reptile so I'm trying my hardest to take care of my baby. I haven't seen it drink water out of it's bowl and I'm worried it's not drinking. It eats just fine though. I've seen 3 vids and I can definitely say I trust your vid the most and I have thing written down. What I'm worried over is it getting bigger and the cost of things when I need them. Thanks so much for this video.

Do you think you could do a small water section in the tank with live plants in the water and a filter

I use a 8x8x6 grow tent. Cheap online used, and effective to keep temps and humidity stable.

I am planning to get one and name him/her 'Spitter' but I am getting mine from the vivarium which is a pet store but I think they do a much better job than petco. Your thoughts?

that is a fantastic looking png kingii!

My first reptile was a corn snake and I have to say I’ve been obsessed since! Now I have 3 snakes , a blue tongued skink and looking to get a frilly!

I just recently got an Indonesian real dragon she is or he is in a 4x2x4 reptile enclosure is that big enough for one dragon plus do they need a misting system installed

Was thinking about getting a male and using zen habitats 4x2x4 enclosure. (Dbcb Exotics)

Have a 3 year old female frilly. She’s a cross between Indonesian and Australian. Got her from a trusted crested breeder at an expo. Captive bred and has been kept as a pet all her life, looking to upgrade her to a larger tank with possibly a small water pond. She keeps shedding so we’re worried she’s not getting enough humidity/water

I want one but my local pet store has one for $800 and I found some babies online for $250 I might get one idk. Thanks this video was helpful btw.

I live in Australia and have one he's name gilbert

I have seen Australian frilled dragons up to 2000 dollars

Could you be able let them have an open home
