Habitat.
The species occurs in moist forests, degraded forests, and agricultural land from sea level to above sea level. As a fossorial species, it is difficult to find, but it can be locally common.
Conservation status.
It is classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (v3.1, 2001). Species are listed as such due to their wide distribution, presumed large population, or because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.
