This is going to be quite a long post about Lizard, Snake, Frog & Co.
Those beautiful and amazing creatures in the parks.....
Chameleons
We often saw Chameleons in Kruger. Unfortunately all too often as road kill, but whenever we see them alive on the road we stop to make crossing the road safe for them.
This little guy was fallen off a tree, a Crested Barbet was hunting him, we picked him up.
It was amazing how strong his feet were when grabbing the finger...
Really impressive are the crocs we spotted in Kruger.
Primeval creatures.
Probably we found the most Lizards in KTP....
Amazing how they survive in such a harsh environment.
We spotted this one at Cape Point.
And some colourful specimen in Augrabies...
I am very fond of the frogs that we met in Kruger, some of them hide inside the cupboards of the outdoor kitchen between the cups and plates.
Like this one that I wanted to safe, as soon as I tried to release him he jumped on my foot.
I found this little fellow in a toilet paper holder..
This well camouflaged one lived in one of the huts at Olifants.
And this one in the little pond at the Buffelsfontein Visitors Centre in the Western Cape.
To me the most impressive "Lizards" are the Water Monitors.
They are huge, have enormous claws and can run like hell....
Now back to the smaller Lizards of Kruger, not less beautiful than the ones in KTP...
Always a lovely sighting too, Tortoises and Terrapins...
Here a huge Tortoise in Addo.

Terrapins in Kruger
And Tortoises in KTP
Last but not least the Snakes.
We are always happy to find one while driving through the parks.
A sighting that's not to be taken for granted.
Puffadders in Kruger
Our first ever Rock Python sighting.
And of course the Snake sightings in KTP, like these Cape Cobra sightings, including one Cobra raiding a Weavers Nest.
And not to forget the delicate Snakes that disappear as fast as they appear..
Now that I am at the end of this post I discovered that it is not just a quite long, but a very long post....
But it hopefully shows you the beauty of these animals and how much we appreciate the sightings.
They are amazing, so keep your eyes open and you are maybe lucky and find them.
