The specific epithet \u003cem\u003emultifasciata\u003c\/em\u003e means ‘many-banded’, referring to the species’ characteristic lateral striping pattern of multiple pale lines running along the flanks. Scincidae — the skinks — is the largest family of lizards on Earth, with over 1,500 described species, and one of the most ecologically diverse squamate radiations, ranging from fully limbed surface-active species like \u003cem\u003eE. multifasciata\u003c\/em\u003e to limbless, fossorial forms that convergently resemble snakes.  A smooth, glossy, and beautifully proportioned specimen representing the largest lizard family on Earth — and a scientifically instructive addition to any serious natural history collection or herpetological study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for herpetologists, naturalists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, and interior designers seeking authentic specimens with genuine scientific and aesthetic value.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BugsDirect","offers":[{"title":"Pack of 1","offer_id":46805341012157,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 3","offer_id":46805341044925,"sku":null,"price":74.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 5","offer_id":46805341077693,"sku":null,"price":94.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 10","offer_id":46805341110461,"sku":null,"price":149.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1228\/7064\/files\/0C7A1961_2048x_db0640fb-4408-4c57-aeb1-870709d5b366.webp?v=1779170146","url":"https:\/\/www.bugsdirect.com\/products\/eutropis-multifasciata","provider":"BugsDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
