Description
Habitat
Ecology: It lives in moss mats near streams
and under rocks and logs
in premontane and lower montane
rainforest. It is relatively aquatic
, and is usually found close to streams, although it is not dependent
upon water for breeding. It also occurs in road cuts
and quarries, and in secondary habitat
, provided that it is not too degraded and desiccated
. Breeding takes place by direct development
