It typically dwells on banana trees and feeds on insects and nectar.

On the back and tail there are brownish or red-brick coloured dots which form a network of reticulated bars.

The red spots on the head and neck are smaller and denser than those on the back.

In captivity, these animals can be fed with crickets, wax moths, fruit flies, mealworms and houseflies.
