This species is endangered by habitat degradation and loss caused by wildfires and nickel mining, and is affected by cats, which may directly predate it, as well as the introduced electric ant (Wasmannia auropunctata), which may both directly exclude the lizard from its habitat and affect the invertebrate fauna which it predates.[2]
