Africa Wild

Hi folks, I've a new challenge for you. Can anybody tell me which reptile this is? Seen at Namutoni, Etosha NP, Namibia. I guess it's a skink, maybe a juvenile Wahlberg's snake-eyed skink (Panaspis wahlbergii). What do you think?

Thanks in advance and many greetings from Germany.

PS: Of course I've checked the AW Reptile Book but haven't found this one.

I think it lost its tail in a misfortune, Saint!

Let's see!

One of the striped skink complex: Trachylepis sp.

perhaps T. (striata) wahlbergii or T. spilogaster

could anyone please help me identify these Agamas, seen around Fish River Canyon and Keetmanshoop (Namibia). Are they Ground Agama or Rock Agama ?

The second one is a Ground agama, relatively large earhole is distinctive

Both of them ? I would have thought they belong to 2 different species, they are so different...

And these ones, are they also Rock Agamas ?

Klippies!

Clever our Klippie

Thank you Klipspringer for answering these old posts
That was my very very first post after I registered here

These are lovely photos

Thank you Klipspringer.

I checked your list and I guess it's indeed a very young Kalahari Tree Skink (Trachylepis spilogaster).

If this guy from SA http://www.tyroneping.co.za/trachylepis ... ree-skink/ is right, we are right, too.

Greetings.

PS: I have some more pictures for you - one more skink, an agame, a beetle, a turtle - but not today.
