Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial [1].
Ecology:
This is a poorly known species, only found in montane
cloud or oak-pine
forest
habitats
(Zaldívar-Riverón and Nieto-Montes de Oca 2002).
While previous reports have suggested the species may be arboreal
,
it is now considered to be a terrestrial
species (Zaldívar-Riverón
and Nieto-Montes de Oca 2002). Animals have been recorded by Zaldívar-Riverón
and Nieto-Montes de Oca (2002) from 'leaf litter
, under pieces
of
loose
bark
or fallen trees
, or walking on the ground
, often in forest
openings with piled logs
and pieces of loose bark used for firewood'.
The species may need pristine
habitat, and is not known to occur
in secondary habitat. It does not occur in agricultural or disturbed
areas. It is a viviparous species.[1].
