(Photograph) - Nicole Blanchflower and Jasmine Foubister got in touch with Matey, an Australian bearded dragon who made a visit to Westhill Pre-school Playgroup in Aberdeen with Roland Digby from Bug-U-Like. The 20 children also met stick insects, snakes, a leopard gecko and a tarantula spider as part of their topic on mini-beasts. Playgroup supervisor Hema Kamath said, 'I'm sure a few of the children would have taken the snakes and dragon lizard home - they didn't want to be parted from them.'. Photograph by Kevin Emslie
