Sphenomorphus anomalopus
The long-toed forest skink (Sphenomorphus anomalopus) is a species of skink found in Malaysia and Indonesia (Nias, Sumatra, Pinang) which can be identified by an extended/elongated fourth hind foot.
From the article Sphenomorphus anomalopus on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
In human culture
Presumably from the Greek anomalos (strange) plus pous (foot). The description emphasizes the abnormal hind foot, with extended toes with strongly keeled lamellae, and a lack of granules on the sole (replaced by imbricate scales).
