I'm 90% sure it's a Wahlberg’s Striped Skink (Trachylepis striata wahlbergii). Any ideas for the missing 10%? :-?

Thanks in advance an many greetings.

And this might be a Western Ground Agama (Agama aculeata aculeata) or a Northern Ground Agama (Agama aculeata distanti). Both are already in the AW reptile book, but I can't decide. The photo was taken near Otjiwarongo in Namibia in June. What do you think?

Somebody said it's a Agama etoshae, but I'm pretty sure it's not.

Greetings from the Saint.

... is endemic to SA along the West coast and adjacent SW Namibia O**


Agamas are really difficult to tell apart, you must go with distribution.
