[4] Large concentrations of the collared delma have been reported in Western Brisbane suburbs, which include Kenmore, Pinjarra Hills, Anstead, Mt Crosby, Lake Manchester, and Karana Downs.

They have been found to prefer inhabiting west-facing ridge lines, within the midstory area of open forests under a layer of fallen leaves and loose rock.

[4] No specific type of soil is preferred by the collared delma; they have been found to inhabit sandy loams, grey and black cracking clays, stony lithosols, and basalt-derived podzols.

[3] The collared delma, like all pygopodid lizards, have a breeding season in the Australian summer, producing two eggs during December, which hatch late February to early March.

However, based on the scarcity of its sightings and the nature of its fragmented distribution, the collared delma population vulnerable to both environmental and human pressures.

[6] The disturbance and modification of collared delma habitat due to agricultural expansion and urbanisation has posed a threat at both regional and local levels.

[2] The overall Queensland government's fire restrictions at both a regional and local level are to preserve the habitat of all animals in the areas, including the collared delma.
