Distribution
Its distribution encompasses all the countries of the Mediterranean Basin, reaching to central Asia. It is one of the most common species in open, steppe and grassland environments in Mediterranean countries. It has been previously reported for the District of Beja. Adults are usually more static and take refuge under large stones for copulation, laying and care of their young; their activity is usually nocturnal, sheltered from their usual predators (generally birds).
