The emerald tree skink (Lamprolepis smaragdina) is sometimes (ambiguously) known as green tree skink or emerald green skink. It is a non-threatened species which is not commonly seen, but it is becoming more popular in the exotic pet trade. In the Philippines, it is called Tabili in the Cebuano language and in Waray.
