D. haasi is found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. [5]
The preferred natural habitat of D. haasi is forest, at altitudes near to sea level, but it has also been found in gardens. [1]
D. haasi is slender and has a very long tail, which is 34% to 38% of its total length. [5] The holotype has a snout-to-vent length of 57.5 cm (22.6 in), plus a tail length of 33 cm (13 in). [6]
