Motorist finds 5ft iguana in remote lay-by
A COUNCIL worker spotted a 5ft lizard in a lay-by as he ate his lunch.
Stunned Steve O’Hara put the iguana in his vehicle and turned on the heating to warm it up.
He said; “When I first picked it up it was cold to the touch and quite rigid.
“I don’t think it would have survived much longer in the cold winds and storms we had this week.”
Steve, who was parked up on the A702 in the Scottish Borders, took it to nearby Broughton Primary School for collection.
He added: “By the time the Scottish SPCA arrived, it was getting a bit lively.”
Animal rescue officer Dawn-Vale Lowdon said: “If no one comes forward for him we’ll keep him in our care until we can find him a suitable home.”
