Figure 48. Habitat on Skelemberg. Note the rupiculous habitat on the left and the red sand and<br />
dunes to the left.<br />
Man-made rupiculous habitat exists in the form of a farm house and its surrounding<br />
outbuildings, disused cement dams, old farm worker accommodation and building<br />
rubble. A few quarries also provide additional rupiculous habitat. These man-made<br />
habitats are often islands in the sea of terrestrial habitat and have created excellent<br />
artificial habitat for many rupiculous reptile species.<br />
