It certainly occurs in Zambia but does Striped from which it was split, also occure there?
I got this from the reptile database, it seems that there is some confusion over Wahlberg's status as a species.
' Following Broadley (2000) T. striata and T. (striata) wahlbergii should belong to two different species, which we follow here. However, in a recent paper by Castiglia et al. (2006) molecular and karyological evidences suggest the conspecifity of the two taxa'.
This suggests that Wahlberg's is just a race of Striped which it used to be.
