Namaqua Plated Lizard (Gerrhosaurus typicus)Observer
kevinatbrakputsDescription
Second sighting here in 8 years. What an attractive lizard. Moved about 10 m in 20 minutes. Three times it climbed up into a shrub seemingly to have a better view (2nd pic). On the ground it would often bring it's tail around in a wavy sinuous kind of motion. Trying to attract attention?

As the gloaming deepened, suddenly the soil began to move and some Sandtoads emerged. The moon rose about 20 minutes later but it was already too dark to find any more toads.
