Trees in the middle backgound were deliberately left standing during the selective logging procedure. June 19. Its' stomach was empty. It is said by Alcala (1986) to be omnivorous, which generally agrees with observations of captive specimens at the Dallas Zoo. Auffenberg (1988) states that adult H. pustulosus are entirely folivorous in the wild. Captive specimens usually lay 6-8 eggs measuring roughly 50 mm in length about once a year (Mitchell 1985). This species is said to be common in the Philippines near unpolluted mountain streams (Alcala 1986). It has also been observed around coastal fishing villages, utilizing as vertical perches the stilts or piers that support homes over water (L. A. Mitchell, personal observation). Specimen examined: LSUMZ 41739. Family Scincidae In the Philippines, skinks far exceed the other lizard families in number of species, abundance, and probably in the variety of niches they occupy. They are often the most abundant lizards in all habitats sampled, with the exception of early second-growth forest, where Draco volans is more abundant. The leaf litter herpetofauna is dominated by species of the family Scincidae. Brachymeles gracilis hilong: — Specimens were captured only in late second-growth forest (site 2, 400 m) and at Mount Talomo (site 3). Brown and Alcala (1980) stated that this fossorial species is found under leaves, duff, rotting logs, and.
