Scientists found the holotype near a town that was not near any body of water, so they infer the frogs might tolerate a degree of habitat disturbance. They believe the frogs are probably arboreal and lay breed in tree holes containing water because that is what other frogs in Theloderma do, but this has yet to be confirmed.[1]
