[4] They typically inhabit grasslands and low vegetation in savannah woodlands in coastal dune areas, monsoon scrub and woodland commonly found around rock outcrops and when disturbed will hide in shallow burrows or amongst ground litter.

[6] The Ctenotus spaldingi grows up to 30cm long from the snout to tail or can have a SVL of up to 10cm in length.

[9] The Ctenotus spaldingi inhabits among grasses and low vegetation and rock out crops in savannah woodland, grassy coastal dune, monsoon scrub and heathland.

When disturbed it will typically take cover in debris on the ground or in shallow burrows to hide from predators such as feral cats or snakes that it may encounter while foraging for food.

The species is under pressure from predation by feral and domestic cat and fox populations but seem to still remain present across their distribution range.
