Eutropis longicaudata, the longtail mabuya or long-tailed sun skink, is a species of skink.[1][2][3] It is found in southern China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Peninsular Malaysia.[1][2][4]

Some populations have been found to exhibit paternal care in response to predation by egg-eating snakes.[5] Though some females are documented, to eat their clutch of eggs, when continually threatened by predators especially when threatened by O. formosanus.[6]
