You have an Awesome frill neck there.. I would suggest he's a NT specimen...

I've put my NT male over my CQ female so hopefully will produce some nice hatchlings...
 
Awesome thanks now the hard part of finding a nice female for him
 
Looks like a mt Isa to me not Darwin type
 
Doesn't look like a Top End frilly to me; perhaps well south of Katherine
 
Wow it's interesting how many different localities there really are for frill necks... I was only aware of QLD, NT & NG species...
 
Localities are not different species... Localities are just that. Areas where a certain species are found. People often lump specimens from a certain area together because they look/act different in some way or another.

Frillies vary all across Australia.
This is a SE QLD locale.

and Mt Isa locale.

Note the difference in habitat and how their colours relate to that.
 
I cant offer an educated opinion such as those above but heres a Top End locality saved and relocated recently up here.

*Apologies for the rough picks*
 
I'm 2 hours north west of mount Isa and yours looks just like the ones I see every day.

Same here...


Thanks for the pictures guys and for clearing up the mt isa situation I'm now torn of witch local female to get for him being that mt isa is so close to the nt boarder

Guess I'll have to buy a female based on looks not what it's advertised as

They go from SE Qld right through the top of WA. You get the orange frill from WA to Qld. Depends on the ecosystem they are in.

Your Mt Isa locale is a fine specimen sporting some amazing colours... Much more vibrant than most I've seen from QLD...

He's kinda like a mix between your typical QLD grey/brown frilly & the NT red/browns you see... Would certainly prove an interesting exercise pairing him up with a female from each locality...

Good luck with the match making
