A. anzuetoi is a diurnal tree-dwelling lizard. Dominant males exhibit territorial behaviour.
A. anzuetoi is viviparous.
The extent of occurrence of A. anzuetoi is approximately 24 km2 (9.3 mi2), and thus the species is considered Vulnerable by the IUCN. Anthropogenic impact is minimized by the fact that its native habitat has many landmines, and surrounding coffee plantations have been abandoned.
