[1] The species inhabits 14 islands within the Seychelles, with an extent of occurrence of 600 km2 (230 sq mi), and occupancy area of 37 km2 (14 sq mi).

[1] The species is found to have a higher density in elevated areas with a presence of rock coverage, and use granite rock crevices, fallen logs, and other rotting wood debris as diurnal refuges in forested habitats.

[2] The species is threatened by the introduction and spread of the non native Bamboo plant Bambusa vulgaris, who's presence is associated with lower population density within the species.

[3] The leaf litter of Bambusa vulgaris can also outnumber the leaf litter of native flora, which the species feeds on, creating a lack of suitable food resources for the species.

[3] In terms of diet, the species prefers to feed on the softer freshly fallen leaf litter of species including Pisonia grandis and Ficus sp.
