Takydromus kuehnei

Takydromus kuehnei (Takydromus kuehnei) is a lizard recorded for Vietnam in the project inventory. Its supporting occurrence note is “Expert range list”. The exact scientific name is retained because many Vietnamese geckos and skinks are recently described, geographically restricted or difficult to distinguish from close relatives. This profile therefore separates confirmed identity and occurrence from broader ecological context instead of inventing unsupported locality, size or breeding details (project species data; Reptile Database taxonomy).

Takydromus are slender, exceptionally long-tailed, diurnal lacertid lizards that move through grass, shrubs and low vegetation. They hunt insects and spiders, using the tail for balance while climbing and sprinting. Eggs are placed in protected vegetation or ground cover. These are genus-level traits; the project occurrence evidence should guide range, while precise local clutch and habitat figures are not inferred (general Takydromus ecology; Reptile Database).
