Striped Skink
Trachylepis striata
(Mabuya striata)
Among the garden plants at Naiberi River Camp, s.e. of Eldoret, Kenya. 15 October 2010. Elevation 2360 m.
The skink photographed here was observed in a moist, highland garden. Based on some web searching and Pocket Guide to the Reptiles and Amphibians of East Africa (Sprawls et al.) it appears it might be a Striped Skink, Mabuya striata.
