Plestiodon finitimus

Plestiodon finitimus (Plestiodon finitimus) is the Far Eastern Skink, a smooth-scaled member of Plestiodon whose close resemblance to neighbouring Japanese skinks makes geographic and scale-character comparison important. Identification should combine documented pattern, scalation, body form and locality because related Japanese reptiles may be very similar. Claims here are limited to the opened species accounts (Wikipedia, general species account; Reptile Database).

It is endemic to Japan and Russia; the opened species account establishes its identity and range but supplies too little accessible species-level ecology for additional behaviour, diet or reproduction claims. Information absent from those species-level sources is omitted rather than inferred from relatives. Japanese occurrence follows the site's catalogue and the opened distribution accounts (Wikipedia, general species account; Reptile Database).
