The specific name, doriae, is in honor of Italian naturalist Giacomo Doria.[3]

The preferred natural habitat of S. doriae is desert, at altitudes from sea level to 1,000 m (3,300 ft).[1]
S. doraiae reaches a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of about 8.3 cm (3.3 in).[2] Its eyes are bordered by large scales to protect them from the sand during burrowing.[4]
