In these photos you see the white dorsal stripe which is the easiest way to distinguish.
Also the banded tale is typical for the tree agama.
Only the breeding male of the tree agama looks blue.

There is also a taxonomic change in the blind snakes
Family Typholidae (Blind Snakes)
Delalande's Beaked Blind Snake Rhinotyphlops lalandei 50 points
Schlegel’s Beaked Blind Snake Rhinotyphlops schlegelii 50 points

Rhinotyphlops has been placed in the new endemic African genus Afrotyphlops by Broadley and Wallach (2009).
