Terrestrial and diurnal. This species is recorded in isolated elevated plateaus Ceará (Floresta Nacional do Araripe- Apodi ) with adjacent in low elevation areas close to the Cerrado in the state of Piauí ( Ribeiro et al. 2009; Delfim 2012; Ribeiro et al. 2012). Diet based mainly on arthropods, being Araneae , Formidae , Coleoptera and Pseudoescorpiones the most representative items (Cavalcanti et al. unpublished data).
