When this species does venture into the lower canopy, it does so within one to three meters of the forest floor in a bromeliad or a tree hole or a leaf filled depression where branches meet a trees trunk. They deposit eggs in the leaf litter or sometimes even closer to phytotelmata (plant held waters), laying two or three eggs at a time. Once the eggs hatch, the male allows the tadpoles to squirm onto his back. They use a glue-like substance to attach themselves to his back. Males will carry their tadpoles to phytotelmata.
