Though this is not an obligate
rock-dwelling species, it is associated
with rocky habitats
(mostly in limestone areas), where it is usually
found in the crevices, under stones
or among leaf litter
at the base

it lives in wooded areas around swamps
and rivers
, under the leaf
litter and under the stones in areas of high humidity.
