[3][4][1] This frog lives in the Amazon biome, where it has been observed between 100 and 310 meters above sea level on rainforest leaf litter.

[3][1] Scientists have observed this frog exclusively in protected parks, including Floresta Nacional do Amapá and Parque Natural Municipal do Cancão.

[1] The adult male frogs perch in crevices in plant roots no higher than 40 cm above the forest floor.

There is some habitat loss in its range associated with logging, mining, and agriculture.

It is possible that this frog may be sold as part of the international pet trade, though there are no confirmed reports.
