The yellow golden mole natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, dry savanna, moist savanna, arable land, pastureland, plantations, and rural gardens.
C. o. chrysillus occurs in coastal forests, savannas and northern KwaZulu-natal. All species of the calcohloris live close to human settlements and thrive in urban gardens and rural places.
