Trachylepis maculilabris
Small skink about 12cm long (has lost his original tail though!), Pale underbelly, Olive green to brown dorsal with orange stripe along the side. Yellow ring around the eyes.
Seen in leaf litter in coastal scrub very near to the beach in Pangani.
Love skinks, this one was busy catching ants. He could be a slender skink or a common skink .. but he seems more distinctive than that, but have not found him yet. Updated ID. Thank you Scott Frazier for the ID!
