That's awesome, Candice!

Would a frill be okay in an enclosure that's 6'x2'x2'? Are their humidity and feeding requirements similar to that of a bearded dragon?

6x2x2 is alright but if you could make it 3 instead of 2 on either the length or width it would be better. The min size for them is 4x3x2. Their care is pretty different to that of a beardie. Different humidity, temps, etc. The do eat the same bugs as beardies and require the same UVB but that's about it really. They are definitely great animals to keep.

Okay. Thanks Candice. I'm just thinking "down the road". I take it the 4' minimum requirement is in the height? I mean, since you specified either the length or width would need increased to 3 feet.

I know I'll need to replace Frodo someday....so trying to figure out what I would get to replace him. Figured I may as well start researching, now. With his enclosure being in the wall, modifying it's size would be quite difficult. I'll look for something else.
