Collected on rocky ground in belt of red soil,
along the highway toward Plymouth from Lone.
Matthews says that while he had the lizard
in captivity, it ate dragon flies and other flies
which had had some of the wings clipped off,
spiders, sowbugs, beetles (probably carabids),
and garden centipedes. It bit the heads off,
but would not eat, millipedes. It picked small
things up with its tongue, but took the larger
ones directly between its jaws.
