Well done! Is that Lygodactylus bradfieldi... or a lost L.capensis? Were these from one trip, because I would never have expected a Homopholis (last picture) in the same post as a Chondrodactylus angulifer.
We must remember that a photograph can hold just as much as we put into it, and no one has ever approached the full possibilities of the medium - Ansel Adams

Theres actually a interesting story behind that Homopholis, the owner of the farm I stayed on said that the gecko was found in a ammo case in his garage after they came back from... Kruger national park. So there you go why he is in the N-cape. All other specimens incl.Lygodactylus bradfieldi was from the greater Augrabies area.

It looks like a Goggia or something similar. If it was further south I would have guessed Afrogecko porphyreus.

MONGOOSE- Im not sure if
is it. I might be wrong but does the thickness of the tail match that of the speckled gecko...isn't it more in line with the common gecko? Just asking.
