Reproduction seems to be seasonal in populations of Burton's legless lizard and mating occurs at similar times throughout Australia.
Ovulation and mating for the species usually occurs from September until summer.
The species is oviparous and eggs are generally laid from November to January, although, reproduction can occur at any time outside of the usual breeding season and females are capable of laying more than one clutch each year.
Eggs are laid under logs or rocks, on the ground, under leaf litter and sometimes in the nests of sugar ants.

Clutches can be laid in quick succession with each clutch containing 1 to 3 tough, leathery eggs, although a clutch size of 2 eggs is by far the most common.
Nesting can be communal and up to 20 eggs have been found in a nest.
Another characteristic that has been discovered is the ability of females of this species to either store sperm for reproduction at a later time or to reproduce through parthenogenesis which does not require mating to be successful.
Hatchlings are approximately 13 centimetres long.
