It appears to be Bradypodion dracomontanum which would fit with the locale it was found at.

Hi Chris,

is it a female? stressed oder gravid? what do you think?

 

[Chris Anderson]

Its hard to say what sex it is from those photos, unfortunately. I only have a hand full of photos of this species so I'm not confident enough to say either way based on those colors without looking at the tail base.

Mmh... I won't bet that they are dracomontanum. I've seen some pics of them, they look different to the one on the pics. But maybe it's just a stress coloration
