The species is originally known from a single locality in Cambodia. The northernmost extreme for D. olivacea is possibly the Sakaerat Environmental Research Station in the Nakhon Ratchasima Province of eastern Thailand.[2]
Ecology and conservationedit
Dasia olivacea lives almost exclusively in trees, only rarely descending to nest or to move between trees.[1] Eggs may be laid more than once per year, in clutches of up to 14 eggs; incubation lasts 69 days.[1] Because it is very widespread and ecologically flexible, D. olivacea is considered to be a species of Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.[1]
Mature individuals of Dasia olivacea have a green back, with bronze scales towards the flanks and 12 bands of ocelli (eye-like spots) reaching from side to side.[2][3] The head is primarily a dark olive-green colour with black markings; the underside of the head is a bluish to yellowish green.[2]
