Reproductive Period Dragon
The mating season occurs between May and August, and the dragons eggs laid in September. During this period, male dragon fighting to retain females and territory by way of "wrestling" with another male while standing on his hind legs. Komodo the losers will fall and "locked" into the ground. Both the male dragon may vomit or defecate when preparing for battle.
Winner of the fight will be flicking tongue length on the female's body to see the acceptance of the female. Females are antagonistic and resist with their claws and teeth during the early phases of courtship. Therefore, the male must fully restrain the female during coitus to avoid being hurt. Another behavior shown during this process is the male rubbing their chins on the female, hard scratches on the back and licked. Copulation occurs when the male enter one hemipenisnya into the female's cloaca. Komodo dragons may be monogamus and form "pair , "a rare trait for a lizard.
Females will lay their eggs in holes in the ground, scraping cliff nests hill or mound of burnt-orange legs that have been abandoned. Dragons prefer to keep their eggs in nests that have been abandoned. A Komodo dragon nest contains an average of 20 eggs which will hatch after 7-8 months. Females lay on the eggs to incubate and protect until hatch around April, at the end of the rainy season when there are so many insects.
Hatching is an exhausting effort for the pups, who came out of their eggshells with an egg tooth to be dated after the hard work is completed. After cutting out the egg shells, hatchlings may lie in their eggshells for hours before starting to dig out of the nest. When hatched, the babies are not how helpless and can be eaten by predators.
Young Komodo dragons spend their first years in trees, where they are relatively safe from predators, including adult dragons are cannibals, that approximately 10% of the food is a young lizard-lizard who successfully hunted. Komodo dragons take about three to five years to mature, and may live more than 50 years.
In addition to the normal reproductive process, there are several examples of cases of female dragons produce children without the presence of males (parthenogenesis), a phenomenon that is also known to occur in several other species of reptiles such as Whiptail Lizards.
