Pristurus carteri, also known as P. carteri, reaches an average snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 5–6 cm (2.0–2.4 in), with a total length including the tail of 8–9 cm (3.1–3.5 in). It is native to Oman, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. In its native range, it is often found basking on rocks or in urban areas. P. carteri reaches sexual maturity in approximately 10 months. Adult females lay 1–2 hard-shelled eggs, which are incubated at 28 °C (82.4 °F) for 70–90 days. When newly hatched, each neonate has a total length of about 3.5–4 cm (1.4–1.6 in).
