Although in the past it was thought the species may be found in India, either on the mainland or in the Nicobars, this is not the case according to herpetologist Das.

More spots, often blurring to form a stripe, appear on the shoulder and the front lateral side.

The underside of the lizard is yellowish to white under the chin, neck, stomach and the back of the legs.

Body strongly compressed, covered with large, keeled scales, 43-53 round the middle of the body; the scales of the first row next to the dorsal crest pointing upwards, those of the second row pointing straight backwards, the others downwards; dorsal crest less developed than nuchal, diminishing backwards.

Bronchocela jubata is generally to be found in low bushes or hidden in dense trees.

To catch its prey, Bronchocela jubata will generally wait in silence at the top of a tree, or it will rock slowly back and forth as if swaying in the breeze.

Like most members of the Agamidae, the mother lizard excavates the earth to form a hollow for the eggs with her snout.

In Walat Mountain, Sukabumi, there were eggs covered by a thin layer of humus in the middle of a jungle path.
