Habitat Description
"It can be found on the margins of virtually any body of permanent or semi-permanent water; young may use temporary pools. It may disperse from water in wet weather, especially at night. It seeks cover under objects on land, underground, or in water when inactive. Eggs and larvae develop in shallow, slow- or non-flowing water. It is unclear as to whether or not it is tolerant of habitat disturbance" (IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group. 2022).
