Eutropis greeri is a species of skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Sri Lanka. The specific name, greeri, is in honor of Australian herpetologist Allen E. Greer. E. greeri is found in Galle District, Southern Province, Sri Lanka.
The preferred natural habitat of E. greeri is rainforest, at altitudes of 30–500 m (98–1,640 ft). E. greeri is terrestrial, living in the leaf litter of the rainforest. The mode of reproduction of E. greeri is unknown. Batuwita S (2016).

Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Greer's Mabuya sighting in Sinharaja Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 11th most-seen of the 32 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January, August and October
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Greer's Mabuya in Sinharaja Forest Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in June, the lowest month.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Greer's Mabuya 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.
Only Sinharaja Forest Reserve, in our data
Sinharaja Forest Reserve is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Greer's Mabuya sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Greer's Mabuya is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Sinharaja Forest Reserve (27 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.
