The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The Tenerife lizard is the commonest lizard on Tenerife and La Gomera, endemic to those islands. Adult males are dark with bright blue spots on the flanks and can exceed forty centimetres. It is omnivorous and eats a great deal of fruit, which makes it an important seed disperser on islands where there are no native fruit-eating mammals.
