      I think this is the two-colored skink, a rather dull Trachylepis dichroma.

      @jayjds2 Maybe. There was another two-colored skink in the exhibit but it was normally colored.

      I saw the two skinks in question back in June and from a quick bit of research it appears the species comes in two color forms (perhaps the inspiration behind the English name). Both animals are indeed Trachylepis dichroma as far as I can tell.
