Unfortunately, I can't find a suitable website . I identified this one using my "Lizards of Borneo" guide book.

Thanks for the correction Chun, updated. If you know of a link to a page showing photograhically the differences between Eutropis multifasciata & Emoia atrocostata can you post it here please. Might need to check others which I saw here and elsewhere.

Oh, you have missed it's tail. Don't worry, I've got it's tail right here http://images.plurk.com/pwx9-7cZ2zcrnKUG6gWwKngvcjC.jpg That is the only photo I managed to get of it when saw one the last time I visited that area.
