Southern angle headed dragons are kept in very similar captivity conditions to Boyds forest dragons and are apart of the same genus.. Check this link out and you'll get some info..

Books depends on what particular info your looking for.. "Keeping and breeding Australian lizard"s by Mike Swan.. "Lizards vol 1,2" by Manfred Rogner..

Mainly wanting to see how much/often a hatchling should eat. How and when you can tell the sex of them. Also ideas on how to cool the tank as im in Brisbane and sometimes we have high temps.

 

[Erebos]

Feed hatchlings as much as they will eat as often as you can so twice a day but at least once you can sex them at a few weeks old by shining a torch through there junk if you see red lines there a boy if clear there a girl and if you having a stinker of a day spray them with cool water or put a ice block in there enclosure on the floor.

Awesome thanks I've been searching/reading every post with angle head in them to find out some answers.

Is there any ill effects of housing a hatchling in a large enclosure? (eg 1.8mx1.2x.6) or should i keep him in the 2ft cube til he's bigger?

I too would like to know this.

 

[Wild~Touch]

I don't know about ill effects of housing in a large enclosure but I do know they need to be kept under close observation when young therefore the 2 ft.cube would be more suitable.

There's the point of being able to chase down and capture his prey items easily , ie, crickets or small woodies often scurry off and hide before the little guys can catch them.

I have 4 juvie AHDs atm and they are thriving

No it won't unless you have a awesome torch at mature age you should be able to tell
