Yesterday when I was at the Fresno Chaffee Zoo (my home) I was just telling my husband amd kids about the eggs going to hatch soon when we were looking at the komodo dragon we have. So excited!! CONGRATS!

Did the komodo babies have trees to climb ? Since i guess that what they do in the wild and find food there

It's like a scene from Jurassic park.

They hatched 2 days before my birthday lol. So cool, there were only 3 that hatched out of all those eggs? Now do baby Komodo dragons have the poisonous bite like the adults? Also does the temp determine the sex of the dragons like with crocs?

This park worker is so excited. His happiness is infectious. But I’m creeped out. Have visions of these monsters going viral in the outback. Dragon proof fence gonna be hard. Next you’ll hear “The Modo atcha Baby!!”

They used to be native to Australia lol, maybe this is the first time it’s been successfully done in captivity In Australia . But not the first time in Australia lol

[shoosh]

How many in total hatched? You guys initially collected a lot of eggs!
