The fire skink (Lepidothyris fernandi) is a fairly large skink species. It can reach a total length of up to 35–37 cm, including the tail. Males are usually more robust and have broader heads. However, the differences between the sexes are not always obvious. For this reason, distinguishing males from females based on external features is not always easy.
