Pondo Dwarf Chameleon (Bradypodion caffer), a dwarf chameleon restricted to the forests in and around Port St Johns.

Hogsback Chirping Frog (Anhydrophryne rattrayi), a small charismatic little frog that can be found in seepages and leaf litter in wet environments.

Olive ground snake (Lycodonomorphus in ornatus). A relatively large lamprophiid, that until recently was considered a member of the the house snake genus. Recent phylogenetic work has shed light on its likely relatedness to African water snakes.
