However, W. Böhme and P. Wagner (personal communication) reidentified this photographic voucher as the Fire-sided Skink, Trachylepis perrotetii ( Duméril and Bibron 1839 ) , a morphologically similar species indigenous to a broad region extending from Senegal eastward to along the southern-facing coast of western Africa, into central Africa as far east as the northern Congo Republic ( Schmidt 1919 ; Welch 1982 ). Gibbons et al. (2009) hypothesized that T. perrotetii would be introduced to Florida via the pet trade; however, they erroneously provided a photograph of L. fernandi as an illustration for T. perrotetii , thus illustrating the difficulty in distinguishing these two morphologically similar species.
