Lipinia microcerca, also known as the banded lipinia, Sipora striped skink, or common striped skink, is a species of skink. It is found in southern Vietnam, Cambodia, and southern Laos; its range might extend into Thailand and eastern Myanmar. Until a recent (2019) revision, it was considered a subspecies of Lipinia vittigera. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Common Striped Skink sighting in Khao Yai National Park on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 14th most-seen of the 46 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Common Striped Skink in Khao Yai National Park on a given day, against about 10% in February, the lowest month.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Striped Skink sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Yes
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Common Striped Skink sightings, Khao Yai National Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Cat Tien National Park (Vietnam, about 20%) and Doi Inthanon National Park (Thailand, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Striped Skink is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Khao Yai National Park (30 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
