The adult salamanders stay around where the eggs are laid to protect the egg clutch.

This allowed surveyors to receive data on the egg clutches and adult salamanders.

A 4 egg clutch is considered exceptional.

Adult males were also observed near the egg clutches, presumably guarding them.

Males may mate more than once and a single tree hole can contain an egg clutch of 60 to 200 eggs.

The males usually call from leaves close to their egg clutches.

The egg clutch typically only a single egg, though 2 may be exceptionally laid.

Eggs are laid as several 1-6 egg clutches 9-27 cm deep below the surface.

While nesting, females produce an average of 3.9 egg clutches, and then become quiescent, producing no eggs for two to three years.
