Frilled Lizard

[Ryegeckoman123]

I am probably getting a frilled lizard soon and I am wondering if people can give me some information and some ideas for climbing. I am getting a girl I think and she is 12 inches and the breeder/seller said she will probably only get 15 inches. I am getting her a 29"Lx29"Wx48"H for her. Getting her a Jungle vine to climb on and some artificial plants. I am getting some Mercury Vapor bulbs. Anymore suggestions. I am getting to put a hide in there and I have lambs.

Thanks for the help!

im sorry but rye - you have not done your research again and talk like you know it all. you will not get friendly, more importantly good advice with your attitude, sorry but its just the truth

They get bigger than 15inches

the size viv you mention will do for only erm..up to about the size you mention yours is...maybe a little bigger..basically up to one year of age or thereabouts..

and what do you know of mercury vapour bulbs???
seriously, what do you mean by "getting her soem mercury vapour bulbs" how many did you plan to get?

Dont they get to 30" And from snout to start if tail about 13" and think they need a viv about 5x5x4 (LXHXD)

thats a small viv for a frilly, 1 adult should have a 4'3'4 there very active lizards that grow to 3ft in length including the tail and they live up to 20years!

I am getting a bunch of the Mercury vapor bulbs right now only two because I have some other bulbs that could work. My idea is to put lambs on top and as add more light lambs as necessary. Also, I think that will work for now and I will probably enlarge it as it gets bigger, I heard that I could keep one in a 4' 2' 2' (I can find the link). Sorry about the confusing post.

It is a female and I from what I read they don't get as big as males. Also, I asked the breeder he said it is about 9 months old at about 12".

I will do more research though. Thanks!

Technically speaking Rye's correct on the length, depends if you are talking SVL or STL; they get to approx 15" SVL and double that for STL.

I'm actually the one who talked to him and he said that he keeps it in a 55 gallon tank. Its only 48" x 12.5" x 20 Which is much smaller than the one me and my bro are getting. The breeder told us all the info about her. Were not making this up it might seem like it.
