Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: From the localities where this species has been recorded, it is assumed that it inhabits lowland dipterocarp forests. Nothing is known about the ecology of the species, but the little that is known about other members of the genus suggests that it may be semi-fossorial in forested areas. The only female specimen had four eggs in its oviduct.

Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The type locality (Kayu Tanam) has essentially only patchy forested area and gardens, and is not protected. The closest conservation area is Lembah Anai Protected Forest. However, this is a very touristic area and is easily accessed from the main roads. Illegal small-scale logging occurs all the time. However, it is unknown whether this threat has any effect on this species.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: This species does not occur in protected areas. No conservation actions are known for the species. Research is needed to better determine its distribution as well as its population size and trends.
