There is a disjunct population in southern Tanzania.[1][2]BehaviourE. tetensis is a highly gregarious species and often roosts side by side with numerous other individuals during the day in rock cracks or hollow tree trunks like hollow baobab trees.[1]They are nocturnal insectivores but may forage within a short distance of their roost during daylight. Once it is dark, they extend the territory they patrol in search of arthropods.{{citation needed|date=June 2015}} ReproductionSexually mature females lay two eggs at a time but can produce several clutches a season depending on food supply.{{citation needed|date=June 2015}} SubspeciesThere is an isolated population in southern Tanzania in similar habitat that is very likely a subspecies or another species forming a complex with tetensis.{{citation needed|date=June 2015}} References1. ^1 2 3 {{Cite journal | author = Menegon, M. | author2 = Spawls, S. | last-author-amp = yes | title = Elasmodactylus tetensis | journal = The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species | volume = 2010 | page = e.T178629A7584355 | publisher = IUCN | date = 2010 | url = http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/178629/0 | doi = 10.2305/IUCN.UK.2010-4.RLTS.T178629A7584355.en | access-date = 6 January 2018}} 2. ^1 {{NRDB species|genus=Elasmodactylus|species=tetensis|accessdate=27 October 2014}} 3. ^Branch, 2004.
