Nessia didactyla, also known commonly as the two-toed nessia[2] and the two-toed snakeskink,[3][4] is a species of skink, a lizard in the subfamily Scincinae of the family Scincidae.

The species is endemic to the island of Sri Lanka.

[2] A low hill to submountain skink species, N. didactyla is known from localities that lie at 500–1,000 m (1,600–3,300 ft) of elevation, including Polgahawela,[1] Billegama, and Dewatura.

[citation needed] Its preferred natural habitat is forest, but it has also been found in coconut plantations and home gardens.

The fronto-nasal is larger than the rostral, but slightly smaller than the frontal.
