Meet Frannie, Animal Ambassador

Last Updated 7/7/2025Posted in Homepage, Ambassadors


Frannie is a young, female bearded dragon who isn't quite a year old yet. She is a unique color morph - a translucent piebald - which means that the spots under her chin are a part of her permanent coloration!

Frannie has become a very entertaining part of our day. We never know what position we are going to find her in; whether she is hanging from her tree, lounging against the glass or splooted out like a dog sunbathing in the front yard. She also has an incredible appetite and will eagerly chase after bugs!

Frannie will be slowly introduced into our education programs. We are so excited for you to meet her and so excited to continue to watch her grow and thrive.
