Little information from the curator of the zoo in Prague, czech:

Komodo couples come to Praha as a gift from the Indonesian president to president of the Czech Republic on November 26, 2004 from Taman Safari Park, Bogor. This pair courtship and kimpoi took place in July 2006 and both animals were four years ago. We also noted there are activities that lead to the laying of eggs on 4 September 2006 but we can not find the nest. So we installed a camera on top of the facility and when watching the events on the night of March 28, 2007, we find that the females dig holes in the concrete floor covered by sand. After inspecting the cavity created (more than 1 feet deep), we found five eggs are stored in moist soil from temperature 32 ° C. At 207 days of incubation they were – each egg weighing 220-276 grams, and two of them contained dead embryos. The others continued to grow in the incubator conditions (30 ° C) and from 16 until April 25 (ie after 224-233 days of incubation and 18-27 days after being stored in the incubator) three healthy young hatch. They weighed 104, 129 and 125 grams and measured 43.9, 45.9 and 44.6 cm. As a young animal’s colorful life in the trees, we put them after the hatch to the high terrarium (110x60x80 cm) with many plants and branches. The Ultra 300W Vitalux Osram lamps are the source of light. About a week after they started receiving food consisting of small mice and locusts and their development is still normal.
