[3][4] This diurnal frog lives in wet, humid, and dry tropical forests.

It has also been observed in disturbed areas, such as banana plantations but not anywhere that has been completely cleared.

When the eggs hatch, the adult frogs carry the tadpoles to pools of still water.

It may once have been threatened by capture for the international pet trade, but it has since gained a CITES listing.

Sometimes these frogs die when people spray coca farms to kill the plants.
