Semiarboreal and diurnal ( Rodrigues et al. 2014). It inhabits regions of rupestrian fields and cerrados in the states of Minas Gerais and Bahia ( Freitas and Silva 2007). Diet based mainly on arthropods, no information about the preferred items on the diet of this species is known ( Cruz et al. 2018). Oviparous, no detailed data is known about the number of eggs laid by the species, but it could be similar to other Enyalius ( Migliore et al. 2014).
