They are! These Hyperolius look like someone just painted them...

Why you consider that the house snake is Boadon fuliginosus and not Boaedon capensis?
That was also my favourite snake but the title to favourite reptile goes of course to Trioceros melleri
Hemirhagerrhis is closely related to Malpolon, something which you wouldn't think at first glance!
B. capensis is more a southern African fauna element and B. fuliginosus is widely ranging throughout the rest of Africa. Werner Conradie (SA species expert) confirmed that the snake I photographed is the latter species.
Leopards are ususally hard but if you ever find yourself in Zambia - go to South Luangwa. We had on three occasions leopard sightings and on one of those occasions we saw three at a time! So a total of five leopards in four days, really amazing!
