A new day begins to dawn and it is once again time for the dragon queen in Åby to lay her eggs. The male is awake and he sprays fire in the center of each nest. The eggs pop out at a reasonable rate and there is very little mucus. The male does not care to lick up the mucus that comes, but concentrates on keeping the nests warm.

The dragon queen lays a total of 70 eggs and she is very happy with that. She hopes all the baby dragons are healthy. One of the last hatched baby dragons has died and she thinks it's very sad.

At the same time as the dragon queen in Åby lays her eggs, 20 dragon queens' eggs begin to hatch.

The white dragon queen in the old cave in Åby stands by her first nest and watches as the eggshell begins to crack. The male is still sleeping. Most of the baby dragons hatch quickly and are a little off balance at first but it's not long before they climb out of the nest and meet their mother for the first time. The dragon cubs are curious about their new surroundings and start walking around the cave and greet the slightly older dragon cubs.

The eggs in the second nest also hatch without problems and they are at least as curious about the new life as those hatched from the first nest. The baby dragons' balance is not so good at first, but it soon improves and they can walk properly in the nest. After a short while they climb out of the nest.

The eggs in the third nest hatch very quickly. It doesn't take many minutes after the clear liquid has run out before the baby dragons have crawled out of the nest. The dragon cubs immediately begin to investigate the cave.

The eggs in the fourth nest hatch slowly. But neither the dragon queen nor the male is in a hurry. Two of the baby dragons are completely white, just like the dragon queen. But none of the baby dragons look like the male, but that doesn't matter.

All the baby dragons are fed after they hatch and the male mates with the dragon queen while the little ones rest after feeding.

The all-black dragon queen who lives in the old mine in Åby also stands by the first nest and watches when the first eggs start to move. The male is awake and standing next to it. He also thinks it's exciting to see when the eggs hatch. When the transparent liquid has run out, the eggs' movements become wilder. Some of the eggs almost jump around in the nest due to the movements of the baby dragons in the eggs. When all the baby dragons have hatched from their eggs, they stay in the nest for a little while before climbing out. The stones that stand around the nest are high, but the baby dragons are stubborn and manage to climb up.

The eggs that hatch in the second nest don't move as wildly, even if the baby dragons push against the shell to get out. Some baby dragons tear off their eggshells with their sharp front claws. The baby dragons have bad balance just after they got out of their eggs and step on other baby dragons in the nest but no one gets hurt. When the baby dragons have gained better balance, they climb out of the nest.

The eggs in the third nest move quite wildly and two baby dragons manage to break their shells with their wings. It looks a bit funny when the wings stick out from the eggs. The clear liquid bubbles and foams heavily from some eggs because the baby dragons move so wildly in the eggs. But the nest is warm so the liquid that flows into the nest dries quickly. A few eggs bounce around in the nest when the baby dragons move around a lot. When all the baby dragons have come out of their eggs and gained good balance, they climb out of the nest together. Some of the baby dragons push ahead but no one gets mad about it.

The eggs in the fourth nest are also very active and break their shells very quickly. They step on each other in the beginning when they have just come out of the eggs but no one complains about it. One of the baby dragons sneezes loudly and the others standing closest wince. When all the baby dragons are well balanced, they climb out of the nest.

The male feeds all the baby dragons and when the baby dragons rest after feeding, the male mates with the dragon queen.

In the large mine in Landala, even the silver-colored dragon queen stands by the huge nest and watches as the eggs begin to hatch. The male is also awake and standing next to it. It both sounds and smells wonderful when the baby dragons hatch. The eggs that came out before there was a stop in the anus are the first to hatch. It took a little while for the male to remove the stop.

The clear liquid foams and bubbles from some of the eggs and the shells are lifted by the baby dragons. A few eggs rock violently against each other and help crack the shells. The baby dragon's hind legs and front legs are sticking out of some eggs and the male thinks it looks funny. When the very first baby dragons have hatched, it takes a little while before the other eggs start to move, but neither the male nor the dragon queen is in a hurry.

In the end, all the eggs have hatched and the baby dragons climb out of the large nest. The male gives them food immediately and the young dragons are hungry and eat with good appetite. A little later in the day, the male mates with the dragon queen while the baby dragons play with each other.

In the cave at Hisingsparken, the silver-gold colored dragon queen stands by the first nest. The male is awake and stands by listening to the eggs. They make a special sound just before they are about to hatch.
The dragon queen was very surprised when she and the male were briefly visited by some adult dragons at night. The dragon queen recognized some of the dragons that came to visit and she thought it was fun to see them again.

Egg after egg begins to crack and the clear liquid flows out as it should. The nest gets wet from all the liquid, but because the nest is so warm, it dries soon. The baby dragons are hungry for life and hatch quite quickly. They have really cute and big eyes. When the young dragons have a better balance than when they are newly hatched, they climb out of the nest. They don't wait for each other but get up when they feel like it.

The eggs in the second nest begin to move and both the male and the dragon queen watch curiously as the shells crack and begin to come off, exposing the young dragons. Some of the baby dragons are noisy when they hatch, while others are completely silent. A few newly hatched baby dragons run right into each other, but they don't hurt themselves, they just hurt each other a little. When the young dragons have gained good balance, they climb out of the nest. The high rocks are a bit of a pain to climb over, but the baby dragons don't give up.

The eggs in nest number three begin to move and cracks form in the white hard shells. The baby dragons are stubborn and crack the eggs and tumble out of the nest. The baby dragons have bad balance and sometimes they fall over, but they always get back up. In the end, all the eggs are hatched and the nest is full of baby dragons. They climb out of the nest in batches.

The dragon queen and the male are at the fourth nest and watch the last 10 baby dragons hatch. These baby dragons are just as lively as the others that have hatched and it doesn't take long for them to emerge from their eggs and roam the nest. A few of the baby dragons seem to be afraid of their parents, but once they climb out of the nest, they are no longer afraid but hungry and curious.

The baby dragons are fed by the dragon queen and when the baby dragons rest after feeding, the male and the dragon queen take the opportunity to mate.

In the gigantic old mine at Toltorp, three dragon queens are waiting for their eggs to hatch. It is the black-orange, black-brown and jet-black dragon queen that live here.

All three of them are very social but now when it's time to hatch they all go to their respective first nests and wait for the eggs to start moving. The male of the jet-black dragon queen is sleeping while the others are awake and standing next to their mate.

The eggs in the black-orange dragon queen's first nest begin to move and lots of cracks form in the hard shells. The transparent liquid begins to flow from the eggs almost at the same time. When the eggs move in the liquid, it gurgles and bubbles, but the sound disappears when the liquid eventually starts to dry. From a few eggs, the baby dragons' tails stick out. It looks like they are waving their tails. From several eggs, the baby dragon's front legs stick out and they move completely uncoordinated at first, but after a while they have found a rhythm. The nest is filled with newly hatched baby dragons and some are eager to climb out of the nest even if they still have bad balance. Others wait until they have good balance.

The eggs in nest number two begin to shake and crack. The shell cracks more and more as the baby dragons move in the eggs and push against the shell. Some of the baby dragons press so hard that they grunt loudly every time they press against the shell. Some eggs move violently and almost jump in the nest, while others just rock back and forth. When the baby dragons come out of their eggs, they stay in the nest for a while while they get better balance. Some baby dragons are hungry and their bellies are growling loudly. When the young dragons have gained good balance, they climb out of the nest.

The eggs in the third nest begin to vibrate and cracks form in the shell. The cracks soon get bigger and the transparent liquid flows out from all the eggs. The liquid smells good and the dragon queen knows right away that the baby dragons are healthy. Some eggs start to move violently after the liquid has drained. Some baby dragons kick away the shell with their forelegs and hind legs. When the baby dragons tumble out of the nest, some stay while others get up from the nest straight away despite falling several times.

The eggs in nest number four begin to crack and move more and more. Some of the eggs jump around in the nest after the clear liquid has run out. The lower part of the eggs comes off easily as the eggs jump around. Some of the baby dragons squeak pitifully while others hum and grunt. When the nest is full of baby dragons, they begin to climb out of the nest in batches.

The dragon queen feeds the baby dragons when they are all gathered in front of her. Some of the baby dragons are very hungry and eat very quickly, while others take it a little more leisurely. The male and the queen dragon go away into the cave and mate while the baby dragons play with each other.

The eggs in the black-brown dragon queen's first nest begin to move and cracks form in the white shells. The eggs move slowly at first, but after the clear liquid runs out, they move faster. It's because the liquid is so thick that it hinders the baby dragons' movements, but once it's drained, they can move almost as much as they want even though the shell itself also hinders their movements. The shells come off quite quickly and it doesn't take long until the nest is full of baby dragons. They get up from the nest after a while.

The eggs in the second nest begin to move and crack. The cracks quickly get bigger and after a while the wet bodies of the young dragons are visible between the cracks. Several of the baby dragons kick the shell with their front legs and the shell whirls around the nest. The male can't help but laugh at the shells flying around the nest. The nest is filled with newly hatched baby dragons and when they have gained good balance, they climb out of the nest.

The eggs in nest number three begin to crack and the clear liquid flows out from all the eggs and collects at the bottom of the nest. The liquid is quite thick and when the eggs move, it gurgles from the liquid but it dries quickly because it is so hot in the nest. When the baby dragons get out of the eggs, the liquid is already gone. The baby dragons have slightly different ways of getting out of the eggs. Some kick at the shell while others are calm and tear the shell off with the sharp claws of their forehands. When the baby dragons come out of the eggs, they stay for a while in the nest until they have good balance and then crawl up to the parents.

The eggs in the fourth nest take a little longer to hatch, but both the male and the dragon queen wait for them until all the baby dragons are hatched. When the baby dragons tumble out of the nest, they wait a while before climbing out of the nest.

When all the young dragons have emerged from their nests, the male collects them and feeds them. The male mates with the dragon queen while the baby dragons rest after feeding.

The eggs in the jet black dragon queen's first nest begin to crack and she can hear the same thing happening in the black orange and black brown dragon queen nests but she is focused on her eggs. The cracks in the eggshell become larger and the transparent liquid flows out of the eggs. The baby dragons' movements become wilder when the liquid has run out. The dragon queen wonders if she should wake the male now that the eggs are starting to hatch but she lets him sleep.

The first baby dragons emerge from their eggs and tumble into the nest. They are unsteady on their feet at first but gain better balance after a while. When they have gained better balance, they climb up from the nest. They stop in front of the dragon queen and look up at her curiously. Some of the baby dragons are already hungry but they have to wait until all are hatched before they get food. More and more baby dragons are crawling out of the nest, leaving only the empty shells behind. The dragon queen will eat the shells later in the day.

The eggs in nest number two begin to move and cracks form in the white shells. When the transparent liquid has run out, the cracks quickly get bigger. Some eggs almost jump around in the nest and hit other eggs. They help each other hatch that way. From several eggs, the baby dragon's front legs stick out and every time they move the legs, the cracks get bigger and bigger until the shell finally falls off. The baby dragons tumble out of the nest and are a little dizzy at first, but soon gain better balance and finally climb out of the nest.

The eggs in the third nest begin to crack and the top of the eggs is lifted up. The transparent liquid begins to flow out, but in some eggs the baby dragons move so violently that the liquid pours out in large batches from the eggs. The liquid from those eggs is very bubbly and frothy but that doesn't matter. The most important thing is that the baby dragons do not swallow the liquid because they can get sick. The nest slowly fills up with newly hatched baby dragons. Some of the baby dragons squeak pitifully and seem to want to go back into the eggs. When the young dragons have gained good balance, they climb out of the nest.

The eggs in nest number four begin to move and cracks form in the hard shells. The male wakes up and looks sleepily at the newly hatched baby dragons that have climbed out of the first three nests. The male gets up after a while and goes to the fourth nest. Some of the baby dragons have already hatched from their eggs, but there are still a few to be fully hatched. The male stands and cuddles with the dragon queen as they watch the last baby dragons hatch. They feel very happy.

When all the baby dragons have hatched and they are gathered, the male brings out food for the baby dragons. The male tears off large enough pieces from the meat and gives it to the young dragons. They eat with good appetite. When the baby dragons are resting after eating, the male and the dragon queen take the opportunity to mate.

Now that all the dragon queens' eggs have hatched, they become very social again and proudly show off their baby dragons to each other. All the dragon queens are happy with their little dragon babies. The slightly older baby dragons become jealous because they are no longer alone, but there are so many baby dragons for the parents to take care of.

Even in the giant cave in Lillhagen, three dragon queens are waiting for the eggs to start hatching. It is the black-red, black-blue and gray-black-red dragon queen that lives here. None of them are social either during egg laying or hatching, but each takes care of their own eggs and baby dragons. It will be easier that way.

The black-red dragon queen stands in front of her first nest and watches as the shells of the eggs begin to crack. The male is standing next to it and he also thinks it's funny to see the baby dragons hatch. The cracks quickly get bigger when the liquid has run out. A few baby dragons grunt as they press the shells. The shells crackle loudly as the baby dragons have broken them more and more. From some eggs, the tail of baby dragons sticks out. From other eggs, the front legs stick out. Shell after shell falls off and the baby dragons tumble around the nest. They seem a bit lost at first but after a while they start to investigate the high rocks and the nest itself. When the young dragons have gained good balance, they climb out of the nest.

The eggs in nest number two begin to crack and when the transparent liquid has run out, the baby dragons hatch very quickly. These baby dragons hatch significantly faster than those in nest number one. Some of the baby dragons don't even wait until they have good balance before they climb out of the nest. They fall a few times on the way up but get up every time. The baby dragons stand looking at their parents and at the baby dragons that hatched in nest number one.

The eggs in the third nest begin to move and crackle. The crackle becomes louder when the transparent liquid has run out. Cracks form like on a broken glass window. There is a loud bang and five outstretched dragon wings appear from five eggs. It is not easy for the baby dragons to raise their wings when they are in the eggs, but these five have succeeded. The tops of several eggs have come off and the wet bodies of the young dragons are visible. A few baby dragons squint their eyes because they are not used to the new light in the cave. Several baby dragons emerge from their eggs and tumble clumsily into the nest. They are soon joined by several baby dragons. Soon the whole nest is full of newly hatched baby dragons and they are curious about each other. After a while, the baby dragons crawl out of the nest.

​The eggs in nest number four begin to move and crack. The shell is opened by the baby dragons and the transparent liquid flows out. These baby dragons are completely silent while hatching. They don't make a sound but the shells crack when they crack. Soon all 10 baby dragons have hatched from their eggs and they are crawling out of the nest together.

The male collects all the baby dragons and feeds them. The dragon cubs are very hungry and eat with good appetite. When they have finished eating, they play with each other and the male and the dragon queen mate in the meantime while they play.

The black-blue dragon queen is also standing in front of her first nest. The male stands next to it. He is so proud to be the father of the baby dragons that are now about to hatch. The eggs begin to move and crack. The clear liquid flows out and the shells rise and crack even more as the baby dragons push against the hard shells. Some of the baby dragons hum and there is an interesting resonance of humming in the cave. The shells come off more and more and the baby dragons start to emerge from the eggs. They tumble out of the nest and look around confused. The new world that they have come to is so big. When the young dragons have gained good balance, they climb out of the nest.

The eggs in nest number two are starting to move and lots of cracks are forming on the white shells. The cracks quickly widen and the transparent liquid flows out of the eggs. Some baby dragons make holes in the shell with their front legs and they stick out from the eggs. When the baby dragons move their front legs, the cracks get even bigger and the shell eventually comes off and the baby dragons can get out of the eggs. A few other baby dragons tear off the shells with the sharp claws on their front legs. The newly hatched baby dragons gather in the nest for a while before they climb up.

The eggs in the third nest begin to crackle and crack. The crackle increases in strength after the clear liquid has drained. The dragon queen loves the smell of the liquid and the crunching sound of the eggs. The eggshell is both pushed upwards and pushed out from the sides depending on how and where the young dragons press against the eggshell. The top of the eggs is always easier to push up than making holes in the sides. The first baby dragons tumble out of the nest and they are soon joined by more. They step on each other at first but no one complains. The baby dragons crawl out of the nest in different batches.

The eggs in nest number four begin to move as the hard shell begins to crack. There are 11 eggs in this nest. The cracks get bigger as the baby dragons push against the shell. Some of the baby dragons are really wild and the nest is almost full of eggshells when they hatch. The wild baby dragons do not wait for good balance, but immediately climb out of the nest after hatching. But the other baby dragons are also up soon.

The dragon queen fetches food for her dragon cubs and she pulls off large enough pieces of meat for her dragon cubs. Dragon cubs eat with good appetite and when they are full, they want to rest for a while. The male and the queen dragon mate while the baby dragons sleep.

The grey-black-red dragon queen has just entered the cave after releasing her feces outside the cave. She notices that the eggs in the first nest begin to move and she wakes the male so that he can also see when the baby dragons hatch.

The eggs in the first nest begin to crack and the transparent liquid flows out as it should. The cracks are quickly getting bigger and the wet baby dragons are visible through the cracks. Several baby dragons use the sharp spike on their snout to remove the shell. Some of the baby dragons squeak pitifully as they hatch, while others hiss and grunt. Soon the first baby dragons tumble out of the nest. They move clumsily and sometimes fall but they are stubborn and get right back up. When the nest starts to get full, the first baby dragons crawl out of the nest. They are soon joined by the others.

The eggs in nest number two begin to crackle and lots of cracks form on the white hard shells. The eggs gurgle and bubble as the baby dragons move in the liquid inside the eggs. The cracks become larger and the transparent liquid flows out of the eggs. The activity of the baby dragons increases when the liquid has run out. Some baby dragons kick the shell with their front legs and the shell comes off more and more with each kick. Finally, the baby dragons can emerge from the egg and they tumble clumsily into the nest. The nest is soon filled with more newly hatched baby dragons. The baby dragons crawl out of the nest in batches.

​The eggs in the third nest begin to rock back and forth and tremble. Soon, cracks form in the shell and when the transparent one flows out, the egg's rocking increases. Several eggs swing against each other and cracks form on the sides when they meet. Several baby dragons protrude their front legs from the cracks and every time they move the legs, the cracks get even bigger and finally the shell falls off. Two baby dragons sneeze loudly and some other baby dragons recoil at the sudden sound. The nest slowly begins to fill up with newly hatched baby dragons. Some of them explore the nest closely, while others stand by their egg and just take a breath. The baby dragons begin to crawl out of the nest and soon it is completely empty except for the empty eggshells.

The eggs in nest number four begin to tremble and a lot of small cracks form in the shell. The shell is raised upwards and there are bigger cracks in the shell. The clear liquid drains from the eggs. Some baby dragons move so violently that the liquid spills out of the eggs and bubbles and foams violently. Some eggs almost start jumping around the nest because the baby dragons are so wild. The nest is filled with newly hatched baby dragons and everyone is waiting for each other. When all 14 young dragons have a good balance, they climb out of the nest together.

The male fetches food for all the baby dragons and he pulls off pieces of meat which he gives to the baby dragons. Some of the baby dragons are really hungry and almost step on some to get their food faster. When the baby dragons have been fed, they play with each other and the male and the dragon queen go away and mate.

Now all the eggs have hatched, but none of the dragon queens show off their newly hatched baby dragons, but they are all in their place in the cave. It might be boring for the baby dragons, but the parents have decided it's better that way.

In the large cave in Eklanda, the gold-colored dragon queen stands tensely at her first nest. After all, two of the baby dragons that hatched last time died and she is worried that it will happen again. The male is more positive and feels that they were a bit unlucky the first time. There is nothing to say that it will happen again.

The eggs in the first nest begin to crackle and the shells slowly begin to crack. The cracks get bigger after a while and the transparent liquid flows out of the eggs. The dragon queen relaxes when she sees that the liquid looks as it should. The baby dragons press against the shells and they loosen more and more. The newly hatched baby dragons slowly begin to fill the nest. Some of the baby dragons hatch very quickly, while others take a little more time. The baby dragons hatched first begin to climb out of the nest and are soon joined by the others.

The eggs in nest number two begin to shake and crackle. Lots of small cracks form on the shell and on some eggs the top of the shell is raised upwards. The clear liquid begins to flow from each egg. A few baby dragons move violently in the eggs and the liquid becomes very bubbly and sizzling when it flows out. The crunch from the eggs increases as the baby dragons press against the shells and more cracks form. Some of the shells come off and the young dragons almost jump out of the eggs and into the nest. The baby dragons go against other eggs that are hatching and also some of the other newly hatched baby dragons. The baby dragons stay in the nest for a while but then climb up the high rocks.

The eggs in the third nest begin to shake and crack. The transparent liquid flows out of the eggs and the cracks in the shell soon become larger. One of the baby dragons sounds almost like a whining puppy while hatching but goes silent as soon as it is out of the nest. Other baby dragons are completely silent while hatching but make noises once they hatch. A few baby dragons' stomachs rumble. The nest is quickly filled with newly hatched baby dragons and when their balance has improved, they climb out of the nest.

The eggs in nest number four begin to tremble and many small cracks form on the white hard shells. There are 15 eggs in this nest. Some of the eggs start rocking back and forth while others mostly shake. The transparent liquid flows out of the eggs and the dragon queen becomes very happy. All the baby dragons hatched today are healthy. Some are more mischievous and active than others but that is completely normal. The nest is slowly filling up with newly hatched baby dragons and some of them are curious and explore the nest thoroughly, smelling every corner. When the young dragons have gained good balance, they climb out of the nest.

The dragon queen fetches food for all the newly hatched baby dragons. She rips off pieces of meat and gives them to the baby dragons. Some of the baby dragons are very hungry and eat really fast. When all the baby dragons are full, they play with each other and run around the cave. The dragon queen and the male mate while the baby dragons play.

In the old mine in Balltorp, the black-brown dragon queen stands at her first nest. The male is still sleeping. He has eaten meat that has been a bit bad and has therefore felt ill for part of the evening so he needs to rest.

The eggs in nest number one begin to rock back and forth and crackle. Several of the eggs rock against each other and cracks form on the sides of the eggs and the clear liquid begins to flow out of the eggs. The eggs hatch relatively quickly after the liquid runs out and the nest quickly fills up with young dragons. They have poor balance at the beginning and step on each other, but there are no whining dragon cubs. A baby dragon tries to climb another baby dragon but it doesn't work out so well. They both fall together in a heap in the nest. The dragon queen can't help but laugh at the two baby dragons. When the baby dragons have a good balance, they start to leave the nest.

The eggs in the second nest begin to tremble violently and small cracks form on the white shells. The cracks get bigger as the baby dragons start to press against the shell. A few baby dragons stick out their front legs and tear off the shell with their sharp claws. Others use the sharp barb at the tip of their snouts. Most of the baby dragons are silent while hatching. The nest is gradually filled with newly hatched and curious baby dragons. Some seem to find this new world they have come to terrifying but they still crawl out of the nest even though they are wary of anything new.

The eggs in nest number three begin to crackle and the top of the eggs is raised upwards. Cracks form both in the top and on the sides of the eggs. The clear liquid flows out and the top peak rises even more and finally falls off. The baby dragons that have pushed the top off look around curiously and continue to crack the rest of the shells. Some of the baby dragons are really lively and the nest is almost full of eggshells when they hatch. Other baby dragons are calm and more methodical, tearing off the shells with the sharp claws on their front legs. The very first baby dragons tumble out of the nest. They are a little clumsy at first and move uncoordinated, but they get good balance after a while and move fully coordinated after a few minutes. They climb out of the nest and after a while all the baby dragons have come out of the nest

The eggs in the fourth nest begin to move and little cracks form here and there on the white shells. It crackles from the shell while larger and larger cracks form. There are 11 eggs in this nest. The cracks in the eggshell become large enough that the baby dragons can get out. They tumble out of the nest and stand still until they have good balance. They explore the nest carefully before climbing up

The dragon queen fetches food for her baby dragons and the male wakes up and looks curiously at the newly hatched baby dragons. He gets up and helps pull off pieces of meat for the baby dragons. the male and queen dragon mate later in the day.

In an even older old mine in Gårda, the bronze-colored dragon queen wakes up from her sleep. She has had difficulty sleeping during the night because the male has been snoring so loudly and she has not felt comfortable where she has been lying. The dragon queen looks over at the very first nest and sees the eggs begin to move. She immediately gets up and wakes the male. He also wants to see when the baby dragons hatch.

A lot of cracks form on the hard eggshells and a low crunching sound is heard from the eggs. The transparent liquid flows out of the eggs and the crunch immediately becomes louder. Some of the eggs move violently in the nest and swing against others, creating cracks in them. Some of the eggs almost start jumping around in the nest and the bottom of the eggs crack. The legs of the baby dragons stick out from the bottom, but the legs are constantly moving, cracking the shell in several places at once.

The very first baby dragons tumble out of the nest. They help some of their mates hatch by pushing against the shell on the outside. The noise level in the nest increases as more baby dragons hatch and beep and coo and make other noises. The very first hatchlings crawl out of the nest and wait for the others in the nest. They don't have to wait that long. Even if there are 40 eggs that hatch, it goes relatively quickly from the time the shells start to crack until the young dragons have crawled up.

The eggs in nest number two begin to shake and crackle. The crunch becomes louder when a lot of cracks form in the shell. From several eggs, the forelegs and hind legs of the young dragons stick out. At first the legs move very uncoordinated but after a while they have almost found a rhythm. The shell comes off completely and the baby dragons get out into the nest. They look up at their two parents and the young hatched in the first nest. The baby dragons become curious about each other and even if they don't have perfect balance, they climb out of the nest. A few other baby dragons haven't fully hatched yet but it won't be long before they too crawl out of the nest

The male fetches food for all the baby dragons and he rips off large pieces of meat for each baby dragon. They eat with good appetite. The only thing heard in the cave is their rapid breathing and the clicking of their teeth. When they have finished eating, some of the baby dragons want to rest while others explore the cave. The male and the dragon queen take the opportunity to mate.

In an older cave in Hult, the avocado green dragon queen stands in front of her first nest, waiting for the eggs to hatch. Some of the eggs were moving a short while ago. The male stands by and listens to the eggs. He can hear the baby dragons moving inside the eggs and knows they will hatch very soon.

The eggs in the first nest begin to shake and cracks form in several places on the white eggshell. Some of the eggs move violently and loud gurgling sounds come from the eggs. The cracks become larger and the transparent liquid flows out of the eggs. From the eggs, which move violently, the liquid pours out in large batches and it bubbles and foams so much that the nest is filled with white bubbly foam that flows away in different directions. The young dragons, which move violently, first manage to crack the eggshells and tumble out into the nest. They immediately become curious about the new surroundings and carefully explore the nooks and crannies of the nest. They look up at their parents curiously.

More baby dragons hatch from their eggs and the nest begins to fill with lively baby dragons. The baby dragons have different sounds. Some hums and some creaks. There are also some that coo and some others beep like a puppy. The baby dragons that hatched first begin to climb out of the nest. They are soon followed by other dragon cubs.

The eggs in nest number two begin to tremble and crackle softly while small cracks begin to form in the white shells. The clear liquid begins to flow out and the crackling sound increases in intensity. The shell is pushed up on the top and from the sides. Front legs and hind legs stick out from several eggs but also tails stick out from some eggs. Some baby dragons hatch very quickly, while others take a little longer. The nest is slowly but surely filled with newly hatched baby dragons. The baby dragons are still wet when they come out of the eggs but the nest is warm so they dry quickly. The first baby dragons to hatch crawl out of the nest. The other baby dragons join them after a while.

The eggs in the third nest have started to move and crack. There is gurgling and bubbling from several eggs as the baby dragons move. The transparent liquid starts to flow out, but from an egg, a greyish liquid comes out instead, which is much looser than the usual transparent liquid. The fact that the color of the liquid is gray can mean that the baby dragon is not healthy. But the baby dragon that is in the egg seems very lively so it is possible that there will be no problem with the baby dragon. Other baby dragons also seem to be lively and they crack the eggshells easily.

The baby dragon that emerges from the egg that squirts gray liquid tumbles out into the nest and immediately starts running around the nest. The baby dragon loses his balance several times but continues to run around the nest and helps open the eggshells so the other baby dragons can get out easily. The male dragon can't help but laugh at the very animated baby dragon. The lively baby dragon crawls out of the nest and it doesn't take long before it starts climbing on the male. The baby dragon manages to climb onto the male's back and stands there making funny noises while more baby dragons climb out of the nest. Finally, the baby dragon gets off the male's back and starts playing with the newly hatched baby dragons. Some of the baby dragons seem to think this baby dragon is a bit of a pain.

The eggs in nest number four begin to crackle softly as cracks form on the hard white shells. The top of the eggs is raised and goes down but is raised again several times. The cracks become larger and the transparent liquid flows out of the eggs. The top of the eggs is raised again and now the shell that is at the top of the eggs comes off. The baby dragons look curiously out of their eggs. Several of the baby dragons tear off the eggshells with their sharp front claws. The baby dragons hatch from their eggs and stay in the nest for a little while while their balance improves. Most of the baby dragons wait for each other and they climb out of the nest together.

The dragon queen fetches food for the baby dragons and she pulls out pieces of meat that are big enough for the baby dragons. The male also helps and they feed their baby dragons. The baby dragon hatched from the egg that had grayish liquid runs around everywhere and can't calm down even when eating. When the baby dragons are full, they want to play a bit and the male and the dragon queen go away into the old mine and mate.

In a cave in Unnered, the brown dragon queen stands ready at the first nest. She is waiting for the eggs to hatch. The male is awake and standing next to it. He also thinks it's fun to see the eggs hatch.

The eggs in nest number one begin to rock back and forth and crackle. Several of the eggs rock against each other and cracks form on the sides of the eggs. The clear liquid pours out from the cracks on the side of the eggs and several baby dragons press against the shell on the side and it crackles loudly as the hard shell cracks more and more. The eggs stop rocking back and forth. The top of several eggs is raised and the shell there breaks, but the baby dragons can't get out yet. The shells have to crack even more for them to get out. Several baby dragons tear off the last of the shell that keeps them trapped in the eggs and they make their way out into the nest. The baby dragons have poor balance in the beginning and tumble a little from time to time, but after a short while they have gained good balance and start to climb up from the nest. The high rocks feel a bit nasty and dangerous for the baby dragons, but they manage to climb up without any problems.

The eggs in the second nest begin to tremble and small cracks form on the white shells. The cracks slowly get bigger as the baby dragons press against the hard shells. Some baby dragons lightly kick the shell and get their front and back legs out. When they move their front and back legs, the cracks soon get even bigger and after a short while the baby dragons can get out of the eggs. They tumble out of the nest on unsteady feet. The dragon cubs find this new world both interesting and a little scary. Everything is so big and loud compared to when they were in the eggs. But the young dragons get used to it quickly and climb out of the nest after a while. Soon all the baby dragons have left the nest and all that remains are the empty eggshells.

The eggs in nest number three vibrate and crackle softly. The crunch becomes louder as the transparent liquid has run out of the eggs. The top of the eggs is pushed up and loosens and falls into the nest. Some baby dragons press against the shell so hard that they grunt loudly. Other baby dragons also squeeze hard but make no sound. The shells come off more and more and the still damp dragonlings come out of the nest. Some baby dragons spread their wings and flap them so much that they accidentally hit other baby dragons with their wings. Some other baby dragons chase their own tails and they spin around the nest until they get really dizzy. The baby dragons crawl out of the nest after a while, leaving only the shells behind.

The eggs in the fourth nest are moving and starting to crack in several places. Some eggs start to move violently and there is loud gurgling and bubbling from the eggs. The cracks become larger and the transparent liquid flows out of the eggs. The liquid foams and bubbles strongly from the eggs, which move violently, and white foam accumulates in the nest under several eggs. The violently moving eggs almost start jumping around the nest and they help make large cracks in several other eggs that are close to the jumping eggs. The shells come off completely on the jumping eggs and the baby dragons almost jump out of the nest. The baby dragons land in a big pile and they step on each other to get away from each other. The very lively baby dragons crawl straight up from the nest, although they have poor balance and sometimes trip on the way up. Other baby dragons take a little longer, but in the end they have also leave the nest.

The male fetches food for all the baby dragons and several of them are really hungry. The male divides the food to each young dragon so they don't get too much food at once. The baby dragons eat their food with good appetite. When the baby dragons have finished eating, the male and the dragon queen go away for a while and mate. The dragon cubs are doing well in the meantime and playing with each other.

In a completely different cave located in Backadalen, the bronze-red dragon queen stands by the first nest and waits for the eggs to start hatching. The male is still sleeping and she can hear his snoring off to where she stands.

The eggs in the first nest begin to move and cracks form in the shell after a short while. The transparent liquid flows out of the eggs and the cracks immediately get bigger while the movements of the baby dragons increase. When the cracks become even bigger, the dragon queen can see her little wet dragon babies and she thinks they look very cute. The baby dragons have not seen their mother yet and are fully focused on getting out of the eggs. The first baby dragons tumble clumsily into the nest. They look around confused. How big everything is and how bright it is here. The dragon cubs don't know what to think of this new environment but they give it a chance anyway even if some would have gladly jumped back into the safe eggs. After a while, the first baby dragons begin to climb out of the nest.

The male wakes up and gets up immediately when he sees that the eggs are about to hatch. He thinks it's strange that the dragon queen didn't wake him up. While the male is on his way to the nest, several baby dragons crawl out of the nest together. Only now do they see their mother and father, but they don't get scared, just happy.

The eggs in nest number two begin to crackle low and the top of the eggs raise and lower and raise again after a short while. The clear liquid begins to flow out and the crackling increases in intensity while the tops of several eggs fall off completely and land in the nest. The baby dragons look up from the holes in the eggs. This new world is interesting. They want to come out of the eggs now! The baby dragons are lively and hatch quickly. They have bad balance when they come out of the eggs and down into the nest, but they get up straight away when they tumble. More baby dragons hatch from their eggs and end up in the nest. Some of the baby dragons are very curious about their surroundings and sniff and examine the nest carefully while gaining good balance. The first baby dragons start to leave the nest and they are soon joined by the other baby dragons.

The eggs in the third nest begin to shake and crackle. Some loud crashing noises are heard and from some eggs the front legs of baby dragons stick out. The baby dragons move their front legs frantically and the cracks soon become so big that the shell falls off so the baby dragons get out of the eggs. The baby dragons are a little unsteady on their front legs and back legs when they end up in the nest, but they soon gain good balance and can move properly. It's a bit crowded with all the eggs, so some baby dragons leave the nest quite quickly. More and more baby dragons leave the nest and in the end it is empty except for the empty eggshells lying everywhere.

The eggs in nest number four are slowly starting to move and cracks are starting to form here and there on the white shells. The transparent liquid flows out of the eggs and the movements of the baby dragons in the eggs increase. There are 14 eggs that are about to hatch in the nest. The baby dragons tear the white shells with their sharp claws but also with the sharp spike on their snouts. A few baby dragons stick out their front legs from the eggs. Soon the nest begins to fill with lively baby dragons. They are curious about everything new. When the baby dragons have good balance, they climb up from the nest.

The male goes to get food for all the baby dragons. He divides the meat into bite-sized pieces and feeds the children a piece of meat each. Dragon cubs eat with good appetite. They start playing with each other when they have finished eating. The male and the dragon queen mate after a while.

In the gigantic mine in Partille, three dragon queens are waiting for the eggs to hatch. It is the dark green, the black gray and the grey-white dragon queen that live here. It has become a bit of a competition between the dragon queens as to whose egg hatches first in the repective nest. Therefore, everyone stands ready at their nests and eagerly tells what is happening. The males are awake but they don't care whose eggs hatch first.

The eggs in the first repective nest are starting to hatch and it is clear that the baby dragons in the grey-white dragon queen's nest want out quickly. All the baby dragons move so violently when the transparent liquid flows out that a thick foam forms under all the eggs. The nest quickly fills up with lively baby dragons and the noise level rises as they make different sounds and greet each other. These baby dragons get out of the nest the fastest too.

The eggs in the second nest are starting to hatch and this time it is the dark green dragon queen's egg that is in the most hurry to hatch. No foam forms under any eggs in her nest. But the baby dragons stay in the nest longer than that of the grey-white dragon queen.

The eggs in the third nest begin to hatch, and this time the grey-white dragon queen's eggs are once again the fastest to hatch. The baby dragons are again very quick to get out of the nest.
The eggs in the fourth nest begin to hatch and it is again the grey-white dragon queen's egg that hatches the fastest and most efficiently. But it is the black and gray dragon queen's dragon cubs that leave their nest first.

When all the eggs have hatched and all the baby dragons have emerged from the nest, the males fetch food for all the baby dragons and feed them suitably large pieces of meat. When the baby dragons have finished eating, all the dragon queens mate with their males. Some of the baby dragons look curiously at what is happening.

The very last dragon queen waiting for her eggs is the emerald green one, who lives in a cave in Lexby. She accidentally stepped on an egg when she laid her eggs last time so there are only 69 eggs to hatch but she is still happy. The male is awake and standing next to the dragon queen.

The eggs in the first nest begin to move and crackle faintly. The crunch increases when the transparent liquid has run out of the eggs. From some eggs, the slender tails of young dragons stick out. The holes slowly get bigger as they wag their tails. Other baby dragons have their front legs stuck out and it is easier for them to crack the shells completely. The first baby dragons tumble clumsily into the nest. After a short while, the first baby dragons crawl out of the nest. They are soon joined by the other baby dragons.

The eggs in nest number two begin to slowly rock back and forth and when they meet, cracks form on the sides of the eggs. The clear liquid begins to flow from the sides of the eggs. Several baby dragons get through their front legs through the cracks on the sides and when they move the legs, the cracks quickly get bigger and the shell comes off completely so the baby dragons can come out of the eggs. They tumble around the nest on unsteady legs but soon gain good balance and can climb up the high rocks that surround the nest.

The eggs in the third nest begin to crack and it crackles beautifully as the transparent liquid runs out. The cracks get bigger and bigger as the baby dragons move and press against the shell. Big chunks of the shell come off and the dragon queen can see her nice wet baby dragons and they can see her. The baby dragons continue to press against the shell and the first baby dragons tumble out into the nest. Some of them fall but they get up and walk around the nest. A few baby dragons help other baby dragons to finish hatching. The nest is soon filled with baby dragons and they begin to climb out of the nest in batches. Finally, the nest is empty except for the empty eggshells.

The eggs in nest number four begin to shake and crackle. The baby dragons that hatch in this nest are the least active and take the longest to hatch, but both the male and the queen dragon wait patiently for the baby dragons. Finally, all the baby dragons have come out and left the nest.

The dragon queen fetches food for her dragon cubs. She pulls off reasonably large pieces of meat which she gives to her hungry dragon cubs. When the baby dragons have eaten the meat, the male mates with the dragon queen. Some of the baby dragons look curiously at the parents as they mate.

At the same time as the eggs of the dragon queens hatch, several common females mate with their males. They want eggs again.

It is the gray female who lives in Lärje. Two of their first baby dragons died the day they were hatched and both the male and female have mourned them. Now they want to have baby dragons a second time and they hope that everyone survives this time. The baby dragons that hatched the first time have grown up and will soon leave the nest.

The beige female living in a cave in Puketorp mates with her Cerise colored male. They also want new baby dragons because the first ones hatched are becoming adults and will leave the nest soon.
The dark brown female living in a cave in Furulund had three baby dragons that died in the first hatch and they miss their baby dragons even though they had a total of 55 baby dragons. The young dragons that hatched and are healthy will soon leave the nest and therefore both the male and the female think it is time to mate again.

The dark green female dragon who lives in a very old cave in Jonsered also wants new baby dragons because the ones hatched the first time are almost adults and will soon leave the nest. She thinks it will be lonely without the baby dragons that need to be fed and all. The male gets happy when the female wants to mate.

The last female to mate is the red-grey one who lives in a cave in Romelanda. Their baby dragons are also becoming adults and she thought it was so funny when they hatched. The male also wants new baby dragons.
