Mabuya wrighti
Small brown skink. It has black side stripe, bordered with thinner yellowish stripes. Length up to 25 cm.
Found in almost all granitic islands and is widespread throughout them. Ranges from sea level to mountain mid-altitudes.
Distinguihsable from Wright's skink by the colour of the side stripe, which is brown in Wright's. Also Wright's skink is apparently absent from large islands with introduced predators.
