No species of the same family or order lives in Tashkent, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Desert Lidless Skink sighting in Tashkent on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Desert Lidless Skink in Tashkent on a given day, against under 5% in June and October–February, the lowest months. That is one of Tashkent's driest months, with almost no rain against 60 mm in March.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Desert Lidless Skink sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Desert Lidless Skink sightings, Tashkent ranks 2nd at about 30%. The best odds are in Shymkent (Kazakhstan, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Desert Lidless Skink is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Tashkent (10 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
