General Info

Lifespan

10-15 years

Appearance

The mountain pholiodobolus is a medium-sized reptile with a robust body and sharply angular dorsal scales. Its skin displays a predominant coloration of rusty or reddish-brown, often with irregular darker spots. Noteworthy features include its broad head, elongated snout, and long, thin tail. The tail in particular is prehensile, allowing for added mobility in its mountainous habitat. Both genders display similar physical characteristics, with no noted subspecies variation.

Behavior

Mountain pholiodobolus is a species notable for its highly territorial habits, often marking territory with scents and defending it fiercely. Primarily nocturnal, this individualistic creature spends daylight hours hidden in undergrowth. Its survival is greatly aided by its effectiveness in mimicking its rocky surroundings, a remarkable adaptation to its natural habitat.
