About the Longtail Mabuya
Eutropis longicaudata, the longtail mabuya or long-tailed sun skink, is a species of skink. It is found in southern China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Peninsular Malaysia. Some populations have been found to exhibit paternal care in response to predation by egg-eating snakes. Though some females are documented, to eat their clutch of eggs, when continually threatened by predators especially when threatened by O. formosanus.
