The species is terrestrial. Juveniles are diurnal, and adults are nocturnal. It feeds mainly on collembolans, homopterans, spiders, beetles and crickets. Reproduction occurs from November to May. Males are territorial and usually call from leaf litter, branches or shrubs, 10-60 cm above the ground. Clutches contain 10-20 eggs deposited in the soil under fallen leaves. Development to metamorphosis occurs in the eggs.
