The Solomon Islands prehensile-tailed skink Corucia zebrata is the arboreal world’s largest skink. The reptile well known amongst the Indigenous people. This reptile is opportunistically hunted by forest-dependent communities as a source of protein. It is also popular amongst wildlife collectors, and is heavily traded in the live pet trade.
Although the prehensile-tailed skink is popular in the live pet trade, there is little published information available about its ecology and behaviour in the wild.
