Gringo is lovely. Educate me, please. What specifically are you looking at when you say this?

Is the animal’s overall size, or something like tail length? I don’t know anything about these creatures. Sorry about the very noobie question.

Yes the females would b around 3 an 4 an he would be hitting around 1 an my females are near exactly same length from head to tail an its around 7 inches longer from head to tip of tail an years younger so im hoping its male because the males are bigger it just needs to bulk up and i will no for sure within next 6 months because its crest and spikes get far longer

Thanks for that clarification, much appreciated. Fascinating creatures. I hope he’s a “he” since that what you’re hoping.

No problem at all, and there a bit of a nightmare well for me at the minute constantly going into hiding my largest female has been asserting dominance which is holding the youngest back ive added an extra basking spot and going to have to keep getting him out from hiding, when he does take the female out of the tank when im feeding him, and we got a kitten which spooks them a bit but the frilled dragons arent bothered the cwds are just bit more skittish, im gonna go for a larger tank after Christmas and hopefully the extra space will calm things down a bit and leave less hiding places because i have far to many at the minute an its easier for them to dart into hiding than sit out and bask and hopefully when the youngest starts bulking out some more it will start to get more confident
