Riopa is a genus of skinks. It is easy to tell the species apart from most other skinks by bright red coloring on their sides from which they get their name. They also have a bule that runs down the side of their tail.
==Diet== Riopas are omnivorous reptiles. They usually eat insects like crickets or worms, but sometimes they can also eat small pieces of meat, usually little mice.
