Agama Hispida lizards often bask facing the sun, making Porterville perfect for them. Sun-warmed lizards are more brightly coloured than cooler ones.
The Cape Skink is common on the Porterville mountainside. It can gradually become domesticated and after some time tame enough to eat out of one’s hand.
