They require strong UVB lighting, appropriate heat gradients, and moderate to high humidity. Their diet consists primarily of appropriately sized insects such as roaches, crickets, and other feeder insects. A properly sized enclosure and consistent environmental conditions are important for long-term health. Facts: Frilled dragons are famous for the large frill surrounding their head and neck. When threatened, they can extend their frill, open their mouth, and rise onto their hind legs to appear larger and more intimidating. Native to northern Australia and southern New Guinea, they spend much of their time climbing trees and are also known for their ability to run on their hind legs.
