There are yellow, orange, light brown, or greenish blotches or spots. The limbs are banded. Males have vocal slits.
Range & habitat
Its natural habitats are tropical seasonal forests at elevations of 100–800 m (330–2,620 ft) above sea level. Individuals are found in a range of microhabitats: on the rocks, on the ground, under rocks and debris, and in a cave. Although locally abundant and tolerating some habitat modification, it is threatened by habitat loss.
