Oh, thought that was the English name for a skaapsteker...

It's a Western Yellow-bellied Sand Snake (Psammophis subtaeniatus)

It is a skaapsteker!

You can make a poll!

If you zoom in, you can see that it has a yellow throat. I have moved it to the right place. The points are the same $\O$

Klippie, can you help me with this one from the Okavango Delta? I have not found it in the book

Lisbeth

Glad you found some small reptiles $O/\$ $O/\$

It's a Trachylepis striata ssp. wahlbergi, Wahlberg's Striped Skink.

Sometimes treated as a species Trachylepis wahlbergi.

In breeding males the top of the head becomes orange-brown and the throat orange or yellow

Not in the book?

Today's outing in the Garden got some pics of the blue headed Lizards that stay in our Breezeblock wall .They very skittish and run if you get within 5 meters of them.
