Well, after several months and losing a bunch of eggs to collapse and mold, finally I have five little dragons. Here are the first four.

This one has a curly tail!!! Broken in the egg maybe? Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

Yes I have seen it in another breeders collection it is either cuased by lack of genetic diversity or Temperature fluctuations or temps that are too cool.
Congratulations and good luck.

Well, as far as I can determine, my dragons are unrelated. But I guess you never know. It could be temperature variation, as I had a problem with the first thermostat I used. This was the baby out of the biggest egg, that hatched several days after the others. It's no bigger than it's clutch mates. I'm going to watch this one carefully, as it may have other problems.

Thanks for the information.
