AN IGUANA, a Python, a Blur Tongue Skink and a Rainbow Boa are just some of the creatures seeking shelter at a Cumbrian animal rescue centre.

The reptiles took up residence at the Wetheriggs Animal Rescue Centre, near Penrith, after their home at Houghall College in Durham was flooded following torrential rain.

They will remain at the Wetheriggs until the flood waters fall.
