Frillneck help

[Kratos]

Hi all, Im looking at purchasing some baby frillies and ive got some questions regarding housing. First up, is an enclosure 800mmL x900H x 450W suitable for a hatchling? Are you better of keeping more then 1 housed together? What sort of temps do they require?
Cheers in advanced for any help offered.

yes thats ok for hatchies, more than one can be kept together, though like most dragons, when hungry they can turn on their friends so keep them full or toes and tails can go missing. temps around 28-30 are ideal 40 deg hot spot. Hot spot should be on a verticle branch, not on the ground. The enclosure should be made up of more than one verticle branch if you are keeping multiple dragons together. keep humidity up as well.

don't keep two males together... actually don't keep males - not if you don't want their frilly necks to look like rags out of a trash bag.

They like to perch. Often one behind the other, so high upright tree with branches is perfect - and also makes it easier for when you give them water (you have to spray water into their mouths every day - or else they won't drink, and they have to have a good few minutes of water every day).
