Monjons inhabit elevations up to 400 meters above sea level and are found in tropical savannas with hot temperatures and uneven rainfall, as well as temperate steppes characterized by abundant grasses and few trees, where rainfall occurs. The species occupies terrestrial landscapes including grasslands, steppes, grassy areas, and rocky terrain. The climate varies; winters have little precipitation, while summers bring more rain, and the species experiences hot conditions with minimal winter rainfall and heavy summer rains. Throughout the year, monjons live in consistently hot environments with frequent rainfall, although periods of dryness can occur.
