The first one is a Southern Tree Agama - Acanthocercus atricollis, and the gecko looks like one of the Velvet Geckos - Homopholis sp. Not too sure about the skink.

Someone else should be able to give you a definite ID for the last two.

Acanthocercus atricollis. Beautiful lizards. I have a few running around at my place. Hatched out some wild eggs of these once as well. Its a pity nobody is working with captive specimens.
And God has Created every animal from water, of them are some creeping on their bellies, some walk on two legs, and some on four. God Creates what He wills, for sure God has Power over all things. (Noble Quran 24:45)
