In July 2023 we were in Gunung Leuser NP in Sumatra, Indonesia with our guide Randi searching for orangutans. We stumbled across this beautiful common sun skink while we were walking along.
This photo identifies it and indicates it is found in Indonesia. Its scientific name is Eutropis multifasciata and it is also known as many-lined sun skink, many-striped skink, East Indian brown mabuya and golden skink. It has an extensive range from India and southern China to southern Indonesia. It often shows prominent colored dorsal bands. They are brown or olive above and their backs have small dark spots sometimes merging into longitudinal lines.
