Carlia is a genus of small, diurnal skinks belonging to the family Scincidae, commonly known as 'rainbow skinks.' The genus Carlia is home to a wide variety of species that may be found all over the world, but especially in the Pacific Islands, Southeast Asia, and Australia.
These skinks are easily recognizable by their slim bodies, robust limbs, and colorful patterns that often include shades of yellow, green, and blue. The intriguing history of these reptiles may be better understood by delving into the genus's genesis and evolutionary history, even if the genus now has a wide range.
The little diurnal skinks of the genus Carlia are famous for the colorful and interesting rainbow skinks. The progenitors of the Carlia genus adapted to different conditions as the continents slowly drifted away, beginning their evolutionary journey on the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana.
One of the best places to see Carlia spp. in action is Australia, home to a wide variety of species that have adapted to the continent's extreme weather and other environmental conditions.
