Habitat:

This species inhabits lowland and submontane forests, as well as urbanized areas from sea level to 1,500 m asl. This diurnal, arboreal species is associated with the trunks of large trees. It feeds on ants and possibly other small arthropods. Clutches have 2 to 6 eggs, and the incubation period lasts 26 to 29 days (Das 2010).


Range:

This species is found only on Java and Bali, where its widespread and common (L. Grismer, J. McGuire and E. Quah pers. comm. 2017).
