[1] Agama bibronii occurs in rocky areas, where it is diurnal, its main prey are arthropods but it will take small lizards as well as feeding on plant material.

[4] It has also been recorded from Mediterranean type vegetation, steppe, and areas of suitable habitat at the margins of cultivated land.

[1] It is a good climber over trees and rocks and is tolerant of high temperatures and exposure to the sun, although in the hottest part of the day in midsummer they may retreat to shade.

[8] The specific name honours the French herpetologist Gabriel Bibron who originally described the species but did not give it a specific name, Bibron's handwritten description was partly reproduced in the book written by Duméril and his son, Auguste Duméril in 1851, entitled Catalogue méthodique de la collection des reptiles du Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle de Paris, in which Duméril named the species.

[9] Genetic studies have confirmed the existence of two distinct clades of Agama bibronii, one on the north and west of the Atlas Mountains and the other to the south and east.
