Sarcohyla mykter occurs in high-elevation (1,985–2,520 m (6,512–8,268 ft) above sea level) cloud and wet pine-oak forest and oak woodland in association with streams, its breeding habitat. It is an uncommon species, even though it is regularly encountered during surveys. It is threatened by habitat loss and potentially also by chytridiomycosis. It is not known from protected areas.[1]
