Unlike other habitat types, this gecko has not been observed in areas with individual Coco de Mer palms or isolated stands of these trees.
The Giant Bronze Gecko possesses an extremely limited habitat range primarily dependent on intact Coco de Mer forest.
The collection of Coco de Mer nuts may indirectly impact the gecko by inhibiting the regeneration of palm trees, vital to its habitat.
Climate change impacts, particularly longer periods of drought projected for the Seychelles, may also severely affect the palm forest and, consequently, the gecko's habitat.
[2] Recent surges in commercial interest in the Giant Bronze Gecko within the international pet trade have raised concerns due to the species' small population size.
