RE: Bath Time
I know people probably arent really interested in this part, (well other then the reptile lovers) but Bearded Dragons are Very pleasent and very docile, but they are also related to Frilled Dragons that are not so pleasent and VERY aggressive, and i find that if a Frilled Dragon had a V shapped crest on its head that it could very well pass for a Dilophosaurus (even though there is no actual Physical evidence indicating that Dilophosaurus was frilled that was just hollywood hype)

well i don't know if the beardies are imbred but even at the regular pet stores around me the beardies go for like $60. you just need to come down here and buy a few and then sell them up there and make a nice profit haha.
we also have frilled dragons but they are like just over $100, so i dunno about those.

RE: Bath Time
IMO Frilled Dragons look ****ing amazing, and i would be wary about that store that are selling Frilled Dragons for $100 cause for this reason
And if you talk to the people selling them ask where they get them from, cause the only place that you can get one is from New Guinea,
For many reason Frilled Dragons are not common in the hobby. One of these is that most of it's natural range is in Australia, which does not export its fauna. Another is taht they are not frequently bred by hobbiests or commercial dealers. these first two reasons produce a third reason: price. Frilled Dragons typically run $500 or more per lizard.
Anyone considering keeping Frilled Dragons should be aware of the legal issues surrounding this lizard. As was stated previously, Australia does not export it's fauna. That means that all specimens in the hobby should have come from New Guinea stock. This is a sticky issue. Unscrupulous or unknowing dealers can say taht their Frilleds came "from Germany", but that often means they were smuggled from Australia and routed through Germany. Such lizards are illegal and can cause you a lot of trouble, particulary if you have any plans on producing and selling young. The young of illegally-smuggled animals are also illegal. They can be seized, you can be fined, and sent to jail.
