The Scincidae is the largest family of existing lizards and includes over 1578 species (Uetz et al., 2014), is thought to have originated in Africa and then diversified and spread through Asia and Australia to its current worldwide distribution (Greer, 1970). On the basis of morphological characters, Greer (1970) divided Scincidae family into four subfamilies viz. Scincinae, Acontinae, Feyliniinae, and Lygosominae. Of these, the Lygosominae contains over 600 species distributed mainly in temperate and tropical Asia, Australia, and central and southern Africa. Mabuya multifasciata has a significant mating behaviour related with the reproductive cycle.
