Not sure bout the first picture..

Second picture seems to me like a Black-lined plated lizard (gerrhosaurus nigrolineatus).

The third is a rock monitor yes.

Nice pictures :)

Can anyone help with ID of these two lizards, both seen at Karoo NP in September 2011.

1. Possibly Karoo sandveld lizard?

2. Possibly southern rock agama?

Hi (again) Arks

Your ID for the Rock Agama (Agama atra) is spot-on (This one being a male).

The lizard however may rather be the Bushveld sand lizard (Heliobolus lugubris) and not the Karoo sandveld (Nucras livida).
Not sure about the lizard - perhaps you have other pics of it?
