Africa Wild

Honestly I have no idea, but the skin on the head looks spotted

I need help on this one, please. Seen in Orpen camp, April 2017

No sign of head mottling!

The only thing you can see on the head are very large eyes on pale background (in a skaapsteker you would not be able to see the eyes from a distance because the dark stripe runs through the eyes) and a yellow throat which makes it a Western Stripe-bellied Sand Snake, Western Yellow-bellied Sand Snake.

Show me a skaapsteker with that kind of stripe pattern

Well done, Mel You are getting serious about this

I am no good with snakes

Mel, do you another photo with the body?

Unfortunately not, Klippspringer. The body was well hidden in the grass and once the snake noticed my attention,
it vanished very quickly

Only trying to get the ladies ahead again. But I don't have much left reptile-wise

Mel, I think that it could be this one https://www.africawild-forum.com/viewto ... 36#p116336 look at Bushcraft's pic.

Is it possible that my serrated hinged terrapin is rather a marsh terrapin

Almost impossible, at least for me to see the difference.
