Adults catch flies, small slugs, snails, beetles, butterflies or moths. They catch these organisms with their tongue. While the tadpole has reduced teeth, the teeth grow slightly when an adult. Matin occurs during the spring, usually from May 1-July 20, the latter half of the season occurring mostly in the southern areas of North and South Carolina. Age at sexual maturity is 2 to 3 years old.
Ovulation is induced by males while mounting the female from the back.
Males release sperm directly onto the eggs as they are released by females. They do not have a lot of predators and therefore are not extremely quick. They spend most of their time resting in the brush of the forest. They are social when they mate. Often times males will fight one another over a female.
