Range & habitat
This nocturnal frog is found in rocky places and near waterways. During the day, young frogs hide in bromeliad plants and in bogs. Scientists know this frog from the type locality in Monumento Natural Los Tepuyes, between 2,500 and 2,571 m (8,202 and 8,435 ft) above sea level. This also involves a protected area, Canaima National Park.

Toxicity
Both the IUCN and the Venezuelan Fauna Red List classify this species as near threatened to extinction. Climate change could harm this frog because of its upland habitat: it cannot migrate to a higher elevation or colder area without descending into a warmer one first. Fires could also hurt this frog. Venezuela has laws protecting the tepui highlands.
