[2][3] G. doriae ₣abbotti is found in Peninsular Malaysia (Pahang) and southern Thailand (Narathiwat, Pattani, Trang, Yala).

The most distinctive anatomical features are the triangular bony crest on the face and the upturned nose.

The crest is complete from head to tail and remains an additional distinctive feature (Cochran, 1922; Kaplan, 2012).

The end product can result in the destruction of habitats of reptiles and lizards, including Abbott's anglehead.

Many exotic lizards and reptiles are also hunted and sold as pets affecting the general diversity of rainforest organisms.

Environmental degradation is an issue for Abbott's anglehead along with many other rainforest species (Bain, & Hurley, 2011).

Every time a dragon is handled parasites are transferred from human to lizard and vice versa (Langerwerf, 2006, pp. 51–57).

Abbott's anglehead is a shy and an excitable dragon; therefore, a spacious pen is recommended to reduce stress and make them feel more at home (Langerwerf, 2006, p. 107).

An ideal temperature for a dragon enclosure ranges from 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit with a place to bask and stay moist.

Addition issues that can occur in tame dragons are vitamin A deficiency and metabolic bone disease.

The lack of vitamin A can increase the parasitic issues, weakening the immune system, and can lead to the death of the dragon if the diet imbalance is not corrected.

According to Langerwerf, signs of an unhealthy dragon include abnormal feces, inability to right itself when turned upside down, limping, sluggish behavior, refusing food, sunken eyes, vomiting, and weight loss (2006, p. 54).
