The species breeds in temporary water bodies, mainly in the arid zone. The frog can aestivate for months in a burrow while conditions are dry, shedding its skin to form a cocoon, until cyclonic rains fill depressions in the landscape and trigger breeding activity. The females lay large masses of up to 500 eggs.
