Striped Blind Legless Skink (Acontias kgalagadi)

Description

Taxonomic nomenclature for these legless skinks seems confusing, but Acontias lineatus is my best guess for the Kalahari species. Please correct me if I'm wrong--I don't have a SA herp book.

We would find these guys occasionally on dung transects, mostly by kicking suspected steenbok middens and unearthing them by coincidence.

Location approximate.
