Pruthi's skink, or Pruthi's supple skink, is an insect-eating, ground-living skink active by day and endemic to the southern part of the Eastern Ghats in South India. It is found in Dharmapuri district of Tamil Nadu, and similar-looking skinks have been seen in nearby hill ranges, so further work is needed to chart its range (Wikipedia, general species account).

Its preferred habitat is forest at altitudes around 250 m. It gives birth to live young.
