Very patterned body with cream colored spots surrounded in black. The tail is longer than the length of the body.
Found him at the top of a rocky mountain surrounded by lower land grasslands.

Thanks everyone!
Wow! Excellent!
Brilliant catch and mood!
Awesome! I never would have figured this one out lol
Ah! What curves! Great click!
Super...
that's a pretty good picture
I found the species and added it Phil!
I am looking forward to it. Thanks!
It was at the very top of a mountain in South Africa, I doubt many people have seen them. When I find the species name I will let you know!
I am really interested to know what it is. I was just scouring the web trying to identify it and can find nothing like it. Quite a find!
Thanks guys! I'm really upset I can't remember the species, I know I have it written down somewhere I just need to find it!
Looks like the pattern mimics a snake. Excellent spotting!
Super photo. Well done.
Beautiful spot!
