Shocked pedestrians saw the reptile creeping up to the front door of the Little Steps nursery in Drogheda, Co Louth.

They started shouting at the kids in the window to get away and soon owners Aoife and Conor Lennon ran out.

Within minutes gardai arrived after one of the terrified locals raised the alarm.
