Skinks are lizards belonging to the family Scincidae, a family in the infraorder Scincomorpha. With more than 1,500 described species across 100 different taxonomic genera, the family Scincidae is one of the most diverse families of lizards. Skinks are characterized by their smaller legs in comparison to typical lizards and are mostly found in different habitats except arctic and subarctic regions.
The Haly's tree skink is a species of tree skink found in Sri Lanka. Earlier thought to be found also in the Western Ghats, taxonomic studies have shown this to be a Sri Lankan endemic, differentiated from the Indian Dasia subcaeruleum. It is the only arboreal skink in Sri Lanka.
Dasia nicobarensis, the Nicobar tree skink or Nicobar dasia, is a species of arboreal skink found in the Nicobar Islands of India.
Dasia olivacea, the olive dasia or olive tree skink, is a species of skink native to Southeast Asia.
Dasia subcaerulea, Boulenger's dasia or Boulenger’s tree skink, is a species of tree skink endemic to the Western Ghats in south India.
Dasia is a genus of lizards, commonly known as tree skinks or dasias, in the family Scincidae. The genus is endemic to Asia.
Carinascincus palfreymani, known commonly as the Pedra Branca skink, as well as the Palfreyman's window-eyed skink, the Pedra Branca cool-skink, or the red-throated skink, is a species of skink in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Australia, and is restricted to the windswept Pedra Branca, an island off southern Tasmania of only 2.5 ha, where it is dependent on the seabird colonies. It is the only lizard species found on the island.
Lygosominae is the largest subfamily of skinks in the family Scincidae. The subfamily can be divided into a number of genus groups. If the rarely used taxonomic rank of infrafamily is employed, the genus groups would be designated as such, but such a move would require a formal description according to the ICZN standards.
Carinascincus metallicus, the metallic cool-skink or metallic skink is a species of skink in the family Scincidae. It is endemic to Australia, found in southern Victoria, as well as in Tasmania where it is the most widespread and common lizard, occurring on many offshore islands in Bass Strait as well as the mainland. It gives birth to live young. It is highly variable in colour and pattern, and may be a complex of closely related species.
The emerald tree skink, sometimes (ambiguously) known as "green tree skink" or "emerald green skink". It is a non-threatened species although it not commonly seen but it is, however, becoming more and more popular in the exotic pet trade. In the Philippines, it is called Tabili in the Cebuano language.
Pangio semicincta is a species of cobitid loach in the genus Pangio found in the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, and Sumatra. It is a very popular fish in the aquarium trade, however it is often confused for and mislabeled as Pangio kuhlii, which is rarely if ever found in the aquarium trade due to it being endemic to the island of Java, where collection for the fish trade is rare.
Dasia griffini, commonly known as Griffin's keel-scaled tree skink or Griffin's dasia, is a species of tree skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to central and northern Palawan and southern Mindoro in the Philippines.
Dasia vittata, the Borneo skink or striped tree skink, is a species of lizard endemic to Borneo. It is oviparous and arboreal.
