Ecological notes.

Arboreal and diurnal (Vanzolini et al. 1980; Lanna et al. 2018). It is restricted to semiarboreal/ bush vegetation in the Quaternary sand dunes of the São Francisco River (Lanna et al. 2018). Diet based mainly on arthropods, no information about the preferred items on the diet of this species is known. Oviparous, no detailed data is known about the number of eggs laid by the species, but it could be similar to other Lygodactylus species (Vitt 1992, 1995).
