At first glance a nice set of images but the tortoise is more likely a Leopard tortoise (Stigmochelys pardalis) and the 'agama' resembles a Flap-necked chameleon (Chameleo dilepis), but worst of all, the African rock python (Python sebae) has patterning characteristic of a Reticulated python (Broghammerus reticulatus) of Asia.
