STIRRING in the heart of Warndon are snakes, lizards, iguanas, chinchillas, gophers - you name it, even a blue-tongued skink.

But don't worry, they aren't on the loose, they are all being looked after by 'Animal Lady' Carla Saunders.

Carla, who divides the animals between her garden and her home in Woodmancote, has started taking them round to nurseries and schools to teach children about wildlife.

"It all started when I got a hamster when I was little and it's gone from there," said Carla.

She also looks after animals when owners go on holidays.
