VUVulnerable
Pallidelix bennetti
Unknown
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Pallidelix bennetti faces significant pressure from habitat degradation due to agricultural expansion and urban development within its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes, while collection pressure for the pet trade has further reduced wild populations in accessible areas.
Habitat
This species inhabits limestone karst formations and rocky outcrops in tropical and subtropical regions. It typically occurs in areas with well-drained soils and natural rock crevices that provide shelter and breeding sites.
