[5] The specific name, schwartzi, is in honor of American herpetologist Albert Schwartz.

[5] Specimens have been found actively foraging low (about 1.5 m (5 ft) high) in trees and bushes, and on the ground.

[5] As of 2020, Chilabothrus schwartzi has not been included in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

[7] Its range likely covers two relatively large islands, but it appears to be rare, or at least restricted to specific habitats.

Threats to it are unknown, but likely include persecution, roadkills, and introduced vertebrate predators.
