Is it correct for me to think that you didn't find these in Paarl?

Awesome finds and great shots.

Nicer shots of some great animals, Henco.

I really like the Namaqua Chameleon.

Is that last Girdled lizard polyzonus?

Even without know the locality, I can make an educated guess that it is polyzonus; that black patch on the side of the neck is characteristic of polyzonus.

That is just a very light one, which put me off a bit.
