The dwarf bronze gecko is an arboreal species found in low-growing vegetation in woodland, usually in association with palms where it can reach high densities. It can also occur in coconut plantations and live in buildings. It is an adaptable species, but its range is small. It occurs in the Praslin National Park.[1] Adults can grow to 84 mm (3.3 in) in snout–vent length. It is oviparous[2] and the eggs are glued to palm leaves.[1]
