說明/ 最大體長約12 公分，全長可達28 公分，又稱多線真稜蜥，外來種，廣布於東南亞與南亞。分布於雲林以南平原地帶，體型粗壯，背部以褐色為主，背部鱗片有三道明顯的稜脊。成體明顯雌雄有別，雌蜥及幼蜥身上具有許多斑點及不連續的黑色縱紋，而體側通常有明顯的黃斑至橘斑。目前推測是隨貨物由高雄引入，因為適應力極強，不需冬眠又不挑棲地，本土種有面臨被取代的風險，牠的分布區域仍不斷擴張中。（翁瑞晴攝）
About 12 cm in length, and 28 cm at most, it is also called “Many-striped Skink” in Chinese, an exotic species that is widely distributed across Southeast Asia and South Asia. In Taiwan, it is commonly seen in plain areas south of Yunlin. Robust in appearance, its back is mostly brown. The scales on its dorsum have three distinct keels. The adults are sexually dimorphic. The female and young individuals have many spots and discontinuous black vertical markings, as well as distinct yellow and orange markings on the sides. According to current speculation, it was introduced into Taiwan through cargos arriving in Kaohsiung. After arriving in the island, as it is highly adaptable, requiring no hibernation and specific habitats to survive, it poses the risk of replacing native species and continues to expand its range.
