Chester Zoo Chester Zoo Discussion and Questions 2024

The old tuarara Enclosure is now a Madagascan reptiles exhibit, with 4 lizard species in there Cuvier's Spiny-tailed Iguana, Sutheastern Girdled Lizard, Giant Day Gecko (P.grandis) and a chameleon, I think Northern Parsons.

I have photos of the new Tuatara enclosure which is on the site of the old Galapagos Giant Tortoise enclosure. I'll try to find them and post in the gallery.
I believe it’s a Western Girdled Lizard in this enclosure
 
I work in my freetime as an educational staffer and do regular tours. Well, it is my duty to reflect on my work and if it appears a guest or visitor knows something original or more I get triggered to be interested. Essentially: I learn, I query and I research and next round I know ... and am prepared for the same query.
I saw on zoolex that there is two on show Komodo dragons enclosure but where one is now seems to hold other animals any idea which species there are and also what bird species are in the aviaries?
 
The enclosure on the left is the male Komodo Dragon, the one at the top called female Komodo dragon on the plan is now two enclosures, one for Ploughshare Tortoises, and the other for Asian Giant Toad, Mountain Chicken Frog and Haitian Giant Galliwasp.

Offhand I can't name the birds, and there is also a Philippines Chevrotain in one aviary.

There is still two Komodo enclosures, a young one can be seen opposite the male's enclosure.

Do they still have access to the the outside enclosure aswell
 
I don;t think the zoo allows photos to be posted from Keeper Experience days.
No it's not allowed for safety reasons and that is because when you post the photos from the keeper excerience days it's easy to get into trouble, get told off and also you'll also get questioned about it so that is why you mustn't do that
