It is highly arboreal species and inhabits shaded areas of forests, well wooded home gardens and plantations. Whistling lizard has an unusual habit of uttering a high pitched whistling sound when alarmed. Hence its vernacular name. It feeds mainly on insects.( From-http://biodiversityofsrilanka.blogspot.com/2013/10/whistling-lizardforest-lizardcalotes.html)
