Cryptoblepharus eximius (18 cent stamp)

Cryptoblepharus eximius is commonly found in coastal locations throughout Fiji (on Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Kadavu, Lomaiviti and Lau Group of Islands). They are Fiji's smallest skink, not growing much more than 40 mm (snout-vent length, SVL). They can be seen basking on rocks, on raised vegetation and scrub, and in open ares of habitat. They are diurnal and have a broad colored dorsal stripe (copper brown) on the head which fades to grey on the neck. They have four alternating black and silver dorsal stripes running from the eye to midbody. Their ventral surface is grey-olive. Their most distinguishing feature is that they do not possess movable eyelids, unlike the other skinks. Their eyes do not close as their transparent eyelids are fused together. They are oviparous producing a single ellipsoidal egg.

Emoia cyanura (58 cent stamp)

Emoia cyanura is the most abundant and widespread skink in the Pacific. Its distribution goes from the Admiralty and Bismarck Islands to Easter Island and as far north as Hawai'i. In Fiji on islands greater than 1 hectare, it is found in dense areas of vegetation, in open areas, on tree hunks and on bushes. Adults are 39-56mm (SVL) or up to 120mm (in total length) . They are brightly colored with black and copper longitudinal stripes on their head and back. Juveniles have a turquoise colored tail which later changes to copper-brown in adults. Their ventral surface is ivory white to a muddy copper white. Emoia cyanura is very similar to Emoia impar but their anterior loreal scale is wider than it is tall, whereas the anterior loreal on E. impar is taller than it is wide. On E. cyanura the dorsal scales also have a slightly different pattern compared to E. impar. They produce two ellipsoidal eggs in a nest.

Emoia nigra ($1.15 stamp)

Emoia nigra is found in Samoa, Tonga, the Solomons, Vanuatu and Fiji. It was once present on Viti Levu and Vanua Levu but is now only found on mongoose-free islands in Taveuni, the Lomaiviti group and the northern Lau group. It is a reasonable large lizard up to 112mm SVL (or 250mm in total length) and is often seen in thick vegetation or on logs and rocks in the forest. They may occasionally be found in secondary growth and gardens where vegetations is present,. They climb trees with little effort, especially in the persuit of prey or when it is disturbed. Emoia nigra is a uniformly colored black skink. Although their ventral surfaces and their tail can be a dark brown. They often bask in the sun on branches around 1m but never really venture more than a few meters above the ground. They mainly eat insects, spiders and other small lizards. They lay 2-4 ellipsoidal leathery-shelled eggs.

Emoia caeruleocauda ($3 stamp)

Emoia caeruleocauda ($3 stamp) is found on islands off the coast of Sabah, East Malaysia (Borneo), as well as parts of Sulawesi, marianas, Guam, the Southern Phillippines, Marshall Islands, New Guinea, and eastwards to the Soolomon Islands of Fiji. It is known on Taveuni and Viti Lev. Adults can reach up to 65mm (SVL) and inhabits coastal areas. It spends most of its time on the coastal ground. But will explore the base of the tree trunks in search of food prey. The most common place to find it are on the base of Tavola trees( terminalia catappa), vuturakaraka trees or fish poison tree (arringtonia asiatica) and coconut palms (Cocos nucifera) It can also be seen on houses and man-made structures. It has alternating dark and light stripes along the length of its body and their tail is either blue or gray. They normally have 2 eggs.
