Eutropis multifasciata, commonly known as the East Indian brown mabuya, many-lined sun skink, many-striped skink, common sun skink or (ambiguously) as golden skink, is a species of skink that inhabits an extensive range from India and southern China to southern Indonesia.
See Snake scales for terminology. Eutropis multifasciata is a species of skink that often shows prominent coloured dorsal bands. They have a number of other distinctive features that allows this species to be distinguished from other species, particularly in the detail of the arrangement of their scales. Their snout is moderate to obtuse, and their lower eyelid is scaly. The nostril is positioned behind the vertical line of the suture between the rostral and first labial scale, and it has a postnasal scale. The anterior loreal scale is no deeper than the second, and is in contact with the first labial scale. The supranasal scales are largely in contact behind the rostral. The frontonasal scale is broader than it is long, and the prefrontal scales consistently form a median suture. The frontal scale is as long as or shorter than the frontoparietals and interparietal together, and makes contact with... Wikipedia →

No species of the same family or order lives in Yangon, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Many-lined Sun-skink sighting in Yangon on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Many-lined Sun-skink in Yangon on a given day, against about 10% in February–March, June, September and December, the lowest months. That is one of Yangon's wettest months, with about 250 mm of rain against almost none in February.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Many-lined Sun-skink sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
13th of 22
Of the 22 cities where we can rate Many-lined Sun-skink sightings, Yangon ranks 13th at about 40%. The best odds are in Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 60%), Cần Thơ (Vietnam, about 60%) and Makassar (Indonesia, about 60%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Many-lined Sun-skink is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Yangon (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.
