		The island night lizard, like all xantusiids, is intensely secretive and confines its activities to dense shelter such as thick, low-lying, and matted vegetation, loose boulders, crevices in rocks and soil, and refuse.
		Precipitous declines in lizard populations have not been observed over a 10 year period, however, feral goats have been the source of slow degredation of the island's flora, and long-term trends are not readily observable in X. riversiana populations (34).
