Meet Frani, our new Caledonian giant gecko! Like most lizards, you can see in the video Frani is shedding, but unlike most lizards, she also vocalizes quite loudly. If you listen closely, you can hear Frani chirping!

👉The white around Frani's eyes is skin shedding. Many adult geckos shed about once a month, varying according to species, age, health status, etc. They shed because they need “room to grow” and to replace old damaged skin with new skin, and it helps eliminate parasites and skin infections.

📷Dan S., Zoological Manager, Reptiles
📍Come visit us at the #BirminghamZoo and chirp "hello" to Frani on your next visit!
⏰ Wednesday - Sunday, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM | *Hours subject to change for events or inclement weather.
