Description
Habitat
Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 1,176 meters (0 to 3,858 feet).[1]
Biome: Terrestrial ; Freshwater
Ecology: This species is found in dry forest
, woodland, shrubland and grassland, and shelters
under leaf-litter and other debris
in moist soaks
and depressions
. Calling is from February to August and frogs
have been noted calling in temperatures
of only 4°C. Between 70 and 200 large eggs
are deposited terrestrially on damp leaf mould, in shallow nests
or under stones
and logs
near water, and these hatch
after rain floods the area and provides pools
for larvae. Metamorphosis takes three to seven months.
