Hi All,

Just wanted to confirm the little critter below as Duberria lutrix (Common Slug Eater).

Planning to release in an veld nearby.

Thanks in advance peeps :D

Confirmed! A very pretty one too.
The kiss originated when the first male reptile licked the first female reptile, implying in a subtle, complimentary way that she was as succulent as the small reptile he had for dinner the night before.
