This video is what my breeding season has been building up to: more Philippine sailfin dragons (Hydrosaurus pustulatus) hatching. I’m sharing the excitement of getting babies on the ground and highlighting why this particular pairing matters to me—not just because I love working with sailfins, but because the lineage behind these animals is seriously special. The male in this project was produced by John Steele in 2017, and the female was produced by Scott Corning (sailfindragon.com / Dragon Attack!). I don’t say this lightly—she’s without a doubt one of the best-looking Philippine sailfins Scott has produced, and the genetics behind her are just as impressive. Her line traces back to the Dallas Zoo’s first breedings in the late 80’s, which is a big deal if you care about long-term captive history and keeping strong, established bloodlines going. If you’re into breeding education, this is the payoff moment: seeing the season’s work turn into healthy hatchlings and appreciating the animals and the people behind the lines that made it possible.
