Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Need Help- Bearded Dragon & Frilled Lizard
Heyo all, I've been wanting to know if its possible to have a frilled lizard and bearded dragon housed together as long as theres enough room for the both of them? I have a pretty nice sized tank but I'm not sure if it's big enough. The aquarium I have at the moment is 4th is 2' long, 1' wide, and 16.5" tall. Or should I get a 20 gal? I never owned either of these animals before ((I'm researching dont worry )) so I thought I ask people around here that would know :3
So far Im having difficulties in understanding requirements for the frilled lizard, any additional info on them would be very helpful :3 Thanks so much for your time and I appreciate any help. I'll be looking forward to your responses ^^

Hi Cassie....it probably wouldn't work out for several reasons. First, bearded dragons have a voracious appetite, and a long , dangling tail from an arboreal lizard like a frilly would invite a bite sooner or later. Second, the frilled likes higher humidity, beardies require a much drier environment. It may be just too much of a risk all in all.

Hello Cassie,
I've worked with both at the Bronx Zoo; their husbandry needs differ greatly; each requires a different type of environment. Also, when mixing 2 species, especially from different habitats, you run the risk that a parasite or pathogen that is relatively harmless to one will cause illness or death in another. The tank you mention is too small for a single specimen of either species. Frilled lizards in particular need huge enclosures with at least 3-4 feet of height, as they are stressed if forced to remain on the ground. Please see the linked articles for further info on both and let me know if you have any questions. Best, Frank:
