The cool side, 29–32°C, dropping to 24–27°C at night. This sheet states the cool side only. It gives no warm side or basking figure, so the hot end is not in our data. Same scale on every sheet here, so two species compare by eye.

Drag the sun. The sheet states a night temperature, so the rail follows it.

Enclosure and conditions

What your climate adds

This sheet states a range to hold. Your local climate decides how much work holding it is. Pick the nearest city: nothing is sent anywhere, the choice stays in this browser.

What it needs

A thermometerbecause Temperature — cool 29-32 °C / night 24-27 °C
A way to check the night figurebecause Temperature — cool 29-32 °C / night 24-27 °C
A hygrometerbecause Humidity — around 70 percent
Not stated: The heat sourcethis sheet names only the cool side: « cool 29-32 °C / night 24-27 °C »
Not stated: The size of the enclosurethis sheet describes the enclosure without a figure: « 4 to 6 feet tall, at least 2 1/2 feet deep, 5 feet long »

Every line above is deduced from a value this sheet states, and names which one. Nothing here is a general recommendation. What the sheet does not state is listed too, rather than left out: a kit that looks complete is worse than one that names its gap.

National law is not global, and we hold no national wildlife law for any country, Thailand included. Check your own authority before buying or selling.

Questions & sources

Common questions

Will it open the frill for me?

Only when it feels threatened. A settled pet frilled dragon rarely displays, and that is actually a good sign.

How big does it get?

Up to about 80 to 90 centimetres including the long tail, so it needs a tall, room-corner sized enclosure.

Can I handle it?

With patience yes, but they are naturally flighty and a fair number stay skittish for life.

What does it eat and what does it cost?

Lots of insects with some greens. Feeding costs noticeably more than a bearded dragon.

What this sheet states

TemperatureHumidityEnclosure sizeActivityOriginDietSourcesUVB

This sheet states 5 of 7 of the fields this product runs on. What is missing turns something off: day/night engine and awake count on the globe, the diet section. We show the gap rather than fill it with a plausible number.

UVB is measured but does not count: it is absent from 420 of 678 sheets, and on most of them that is not a gap, since a nocturnal snake's sheet has no reason to state a UV index. Counting it would call the library incomplete without cause.
