Insectivorous; feeds largely on insects but at times bird-eggs, nestlings, and frogs too are eaten up.[4]
Oviparous; breeding season begins around April when males develop bright coloration in the forebody and begin to chase females. Female digs a small hollow in soft earth and lays 11-23 eggs in it for incubation and safety.[4]
No known practical uses. Play rolls in ecosystem by eating various types of insects and otherwise.
Non-venomous and completely harmless to humans.
Not Evaluated (NE).
