Image of both sides of a Central Netted Dragon (Ctenophorus nuchalis) embryo that was cut from the egg and found to be deceased at full term.

amazing how they have stayed in the egg shape without the shell, Shannon
I would love to see them in a larger pic so all the detailed showed up more clearly than just on a laptop, but they are great shots. Im still waiting on the ultrasounds, that should be interesting, will keep u posted.
 
Thanks Bigi,

I carefully cut the egg away - but was pretty lucky to have the yolk etc stay in tact - ran straight for the camera as you can imagine ; p

Detail shots as requested, excuse the downsampling, I didn't want to make them too big for this site.

Can't wait to hear about the ultrasounds!! How are your guys doing?



 
Poor little thing. Does anyone have a problem with your central netted babies dying just after their first shed, when everything else is fine?
 
That is very strangely, beautiful.

If it wasn't so creepy it'd probably look really nice framed on a wall.

Wonderful photography.
