Editing Cuban night lizard (section)

==Conservation status==
This species is listened in Red List Category Vulnerable B2a,b(iii) for Cuba.
The main threat is the fragmentation and loss of habitat due to deforestation through human activities such as farming (minor crops), cutting down trees and setting fires. It is also threatened by the introduction of invasive alien animal species and adverse natural events. Although some of the populations of ''Cricosaura'' are situated in a protected area, the level of study and management are inadequate. The populations outside the boundaries of the protected area are the most threatened.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ama.cu/index.php/categ-vu/article/87-cricosaura-typica |title=Agencia de Medio Ambiente: Libro rojo de los vertebrados de Cuba.
