A search is continuing for a lizard who staged a great escape from a Workington garden.
Echo, a Tegu, belongs to Pet Encounter Cumbria and was in the garden in her home in Moorclose on Saturday.
Owner Siobhan Harkness popped out to take the company’s meerkat to the vets and when she returned, she found Tegu had dug a hole under her cage and legged it.
Since Cumbria Crack broke the news on Saturday, the escape has been picked up by the national media and people have been out searching for Echo, including West Cumbria Search and Rescue.
The volunteer organisation launched a drone to try and find her yesterday.
Siobhan said: “Thank you so much to West Cumbria Search and Rescue for coming out this evening to help search for Echo.
“Despite all their effort, she still is missing. We think it’s just going to be a waiting game now till she emerges from her hiding place before we find her.
“I would also like to thank everyone who has and is keeping an eye out for her and all the local and national coverage we have had on her great escape.
“The more people know, the better as we will find her. It’s now just a question of when.”
Anyone who spots Echo is asked to call 07397 548 562.
