In both cases, fertilization is internal and females give birth to fully developed juvenile frogs.
The newly metamorphed juvenile frogs must quickly find a crayfish burrow to occupy to avoid predation.
The juvenile frogs that emerge from water return to an arboreal life, on trees.
When the tadpoles hatch, they feed on vegetable matter and take about three months before they undergo metamorphosis into juvenile frogs.
Substantial winter rains are needed to ensure the ponds are filled sufficiently to allow development of juvenile frogs.
Metamorphosis into juvenile frogs occurs after about thirty one days.
Internal fertilisation takes place and the eggs develop directly into juvenile frogs in the oviduct of the female.
It is believed that direct development of the young takes place with juvenile frogs hatching directly from the eggs.
Of ten juvenile frogs, only two moved more than 3 metres between observations.
Females lay up to a thousand eggs and the tadpoles undergo metamorphosis into juvenile frogs after about four months of development.
