This species is found on sand sheets and dunes including the upper shoreline of sandy beaches (Gardner 2013).It is a nocturnal and fossorial species that spends most of its life under the sand. At night, they may surface and move considerable distances whilst foraging (Gardner 2013). They are predators which are presumed to consume arthropods and perhaps small geckos (Gardner 2013). They are able to tolerate a wide range of temperature while maintaining a mean selected body temperature within a narrow range (Gardner 2013). Very little is known about the species reproduction, although it may be similar to the observation made in Saudi Arabia, where the breeding season was recorded from early April to late June (Al-Sadoon et al. 2014). Females lay 6-9 eggs with an average egg diameter of 1.5 mm (Al-Sadoon et al. 2014).
