The interactive day organised by Wellingborough Town Council and Wildlife Displays gave people the chance to be hands-on with a variety of animals.

It included tarantulas, scorpions, a cockroach and a brave few even held Bernie the red tail boa constrictor and Spike the bearded dragon while the cheeky

chipmunks and meerkats looked on.

The expert handlers gave everyone the opportunity to learn about some of these more unusual animals.
