This frog lives in montaine forests. It lays eggs in moist areas under logs and on tree roots. The frog breeds by direct development with no free-swimming tadpole stage.[1]
Scientists classify this frog as vulnerable to extinction because its range is still subject to considerable degradation. That range includes some protected parks: Bidoup-Nui Ba National Park, Phuoc Binh National Park, and Ta Dung Nature Reserve.[1] Its natural habitat is shrubby vegetation.[1]
