Range

Known largely from the Einasleigh Uplands bioregion in north-eastern Queensland and adjacent areas of the Gulf Plains bioregion. Known localities extend roughly across the base of Cape York Peninsula, from Croydon in the west, to Petford in the north-east, and south-east as far as Mingela.

Found in the following Australian states/territories

Queensland

Habitat

"associated with small boulders and rock rubble".
"rocky habitats east of the Gulf Plains region, where the flat treeless landscape changes to rolling stony hills, with areas of more complex sandstone. This species is often seen active on and around rocks at night, and can also be found sheltering beneath loose rocks during the day. This species is not generally seen on larger vertical rock faces that may be occupied by larger-bodied gecko species such as northern spotted velvet gecko (Oedura coggeri) Bustard 1966 and dubious dtella (Gehyra dubia) Macleay, 1877 in this region."
