As you all know, Zelenka is pregnant. Let me make that was pregnant. I'm guessing she couldn't handle it or something went wrong because she passed away at 11:10 pm. We had to do something that was very hard to do. We had to perform an emergency C-Section on her to get the eggs before they died to. She had 4 and unfortuantly, one was already rotten. So, it had to have died before she did. The other 3 look healthy and fertile and we hope they survive. They are our only link to Zelenka now. Zelenka was our first water dragon. Because of her, we sarted to love them all. She will never be forgotten. We love you Zelenka!

Thank you all. Your support really helps.We think we know what happened. On her right reproductive tract, two eggs came out healthy and attached to each other with sacs. On her left reproductive tract, the rotten egg had be dug out and it had no sac nor was it even attached to the other egg. The other egg was surrounded by its sac. So, there was a problem with her left reproductive tract. Another thing that we found out was it looked like it wouldn't have been much longer for her to lay them since the eggs were so close to her vent. Also, to those wanting to know what incubator we are using, we are using a home made one and we know it works because we have hatched 13 five-lined skinks in it before.
