The trail to Hoq cave is a great place to see the Socotra mabuya, as they are easily seen from the trail. Endemic.

The endemic Socotra Mabuya and the Socotra Rock Gecko (Pristurus sokotranus) are species commonly seen in the same landscape throughout Socotra.

As I was busy photographing the flowers of this Cucumis prophetarum, this skink entered the scene and started consuming one flower after another! Not easy…
