Cliffs, cave and boulders on mountains, mountain wadis and rocky outcrops (Gardner 2013). Also found in old building and forts (Gardner 2013). It is a nocturnal species that may be encountered during the cooler months outside its retreats during late afternoons (Gardner 2013). They are excellent climbers typically encountered on vertical or overhanging rock surfaces and also on rocky ground or scree (Gardner 2013). Females lay clutches of two hard-shelled eggs in summer that are glued to vertical rock surfaces within caves or in deep crevices (Gardner 2013). These egg-laying sites are often used communally and the remains of old eggs show they may have been in use over long periods of time (Gardner 2013).

This is a strictly nocturnal species that has been found on the rocky sides of wadis, stony substrates, lower down on large boulders, and hiding in caves (Carranza et al. 2016). The species occurs from 100 m to 600 m asl. The species lays a single egg in summer that is glued to a rock. In captivity, females laid eggs every three to eight weeks from spring to autumn (Gardner 2013).

The species is found in rocky areas, hills and mountains which range from well-vegetated wadis and slopes to barren, rocky hillsides (Gardner 2013). The species is found from sea level to 1,100 m asl.It is a diurnal species whose diet includes a wide range of invertebrates. The reproductive season is spring to summer, with females laying small clutches of three to five eggs.

The species is found on bedrock wadi banks and coarse gravel wadi beds, particularly near areas with permanent or intermittent surface water pools from 200 m to 700 m asl. The species has also been recorded from plantations in the Hajar Mountains. It is a small and elusive diurnal species, which upon detection of a potential threat will rapidly retreat into rock cracks and crevices. Combined with its small size, long flight distance and the rocky habitat it occupies, the species is often under-sampled during surveys. It is active throughout the year, although during the summer months, activity is limited to the early mornings and late afternoons. They appear to be predominantly solitary, with pairing observed during the cooler months from October to May. Females lay several clutches of two to three large eggs measuring 9 by 4 mm (Gardner 2013). Hatchling measured 25 mm snout to tail length with a tail length of 55 mm (Gardner 2013).

The species is found in rocky and mountainous areas, including wadis and hillsides with vegetation (Gardner 2013). They have also been found in agricultural land and along drystone walls.It is a large omnivorous diurnal species, whose diet includes invertebrates, toads, lizards and plant material (Gardner 2013). The mating season is throughout the year, with the female laying several clutches of 7-10 eggs (Gardner 2013) which hatch after an incubation period of 60-65 days.

This species is found in sandy and gravel plains with sparse vegetation, including gravel plains within mountain areas, but avoiding sand dunes and mountain slopes (Gardner 2013).It is a diurnal species that can tolerate high temperatures, the critical maximum temperature being over 46'°C (Gardner 2013). They dig burrows at the base of small shrubs. Breeding season is presumed throughout the year with females laying a clutch of two to four eggs (Gardner 2013).

The species is found in aeolian sand habitats, including sandy plains, sand sheets and dunes (Gardner 2013). It is a diurnal and ground-dwelling species. During hot seasons, activity starts one to two hours after sunrise and continues for four to five hours, with another period of activity in the late afternoon (Gardner 2013). The species predates on invertebrates. Burrows are dug into the sand often on firm, sloping surfaces or at the base of vegetation (Gardner 2013). No information is known about their reproduction, presumed similar to other Acanthodactylus species.

This species is found in well-vegetated, rocky areas, often close to water (Gardner 2013). It has also been encountered in urban gardens along the east coast. A small diurnal species that preys on invertebrates. Little is known about their natural history. Gardner (2013) reported a female from Rustaq which had four thick-shelled eggs.

The species is found on hard substrates such as consolidated sands, alluvial and gravel plains, from sea level to 400 m asl (Gardner 2013). It is a ground-dwelling nocturnal species that avoids soft, windblown sands. Breeding occurs during the warmer months, with females laying a clutch of two oval hard-shelled eggs.

Mountain slopes, wadis with large boulders and cliffs (Gardner 2013) from sea level to at least 1,400 m asl. It is a diurnal species that perches on rock boulders or vertical rock faces. Females lay one egg per clutch multiple times throughout the year.
