Eumecia anchietae, also known commonly as Anchieta's serpentiform skink, Anchieta's snake skink, and the western serpentiform skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae.
The specific name, anchietae, is in honor of Portuguese naturalist José Alberto de Oliveira Anchieta, who was an explorer of Africa.
[3] E. anchietae is found in Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, and Zambia.
[1][2] The preferred natural habitats of E. anchietae are grassland and savanna at altitudes of 1,000–2,000 m (3,300–6,600 ft).
The hind legs are twice as large (but still very small), each with three toes.
