Central Netted Dragons
The Central Netted Dragon (Ctenophorus nuchalis) is one of Australia’s most active and engaging desert lizards, known for its lively personality, bold markings, and ease of care. Native to Australia’s arid interior, these hardy dragons make excellent display reptiles for both beginners and experienced keepers.
Central Netted Dragons are medium-sized, typically reaching around 25–30 cm in total length. They thrive in warm, open enclosures with plenty of basking areas, low hides, and natural décor such as branches and rocks. Their inquisitive nature makes them highly interactive and enjoyable to observe.
Feeding is simple — they readily accept a varied diet of live insects such as crickets, wood roaches, and mealworms, dusted with calcium and vitamin supplements to support bone and muscle health. With proper UVB lighting, heating, and nutrition, these dragons are long-lived and robust in captivity.
Captive-bred Central Netted Dragons are available seasonally through Amazing Amazon, ensuring strong, healthy animals raised under optimal conditions. Each dragon is well-established, feeding reliably, and ready for its new home.

Captive-bred and acclimated for Australian conditions
-
Active, curious, and easy to handle
-
Ideal for desert-themed or semi-arid enclosures
-
Feeds on a range of live insects
-
