The white-spotted supple skink is a small, diurnal, terrestrial, insectivorous skink of tropical Asia. Its lower eyelids are covered with scales, unlike some lizards whose lower lids are clear. It has a short snout, four supraoculars, seven or eight supraciliaries with the first and last largest, and a small oval ear opening with tiny lobes in front (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is found across mainland India except perhaps the Thar Desert and the Himalaya, and its range continues to Bhutan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Indochina, Vietnam, Malaysia and the Maldives. The sources opened give nothing on size or breeding, so none is stated.
