It is found in the coastal lowlands of westernmost West Africa in Senegal, the Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, and Sierra Leone.

[4] In the Bissagos Islands, the species was found in vegetation about half a meter above the ground, mostly on leaf surfaces or twigs of shrubs.

During the heat of the day, they may assume a characteristic resting position to reduce water loss.

It is adaptable, unlikely to face any significant threats, and probably occurs in several protected areas.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assessed it as of "Least Concern".
