Wahlberg’s Striped Skink (Trachylepis wahlbergii)Observer
jakobDescription
One of the 2 is fake - guess which one.
Solution for all who are still wondering: The plastic rattle snake has been put in the entrance of the camp kitchen as a deterrent against the local troop of Malbrouck Monkeys, which used to raid the stored food, and surprisingly they never ever entered the kitchen since then.
This skink, however, equipped with astounding cognitive abilities, shows off with his balls of steel.
Err, I think it's a female....

(Larger, darker snake) My mom texted me a photo of two snakes she found hanging out together while she was watering plants. ~3.5 hours later, they were still in the same area and I took some more photos. Sometimes the larger snake would move away a foot or two, and eventually the smaller one would slither over to it again. (will create a duplicate post for the other snake)
