is a diurnal lizard, semi-arboreal to arboreal in habit, and has so far been recorded mostly in deciduous, secondary and semi-evergreen forests. Individuals were mostly seen perching on branches and actively moving on tree trunks. In some instances, it has also been observed in forest fragments and plantations. In some sites, they occur syntopically in the same habitat as
