It is a moderately large fossorial species, which spends most of its time in a burrow.

Care guidance
Keep in a spacious terrestrial enclosure with ample floor area. Maintain 78–88°F and 75–85% humidity. Provide deep moist tropical substrate at least 3–4 inches deep with a secure hide and a shallow water dish — consistency in these basics is the key to a thriving specimen.
