Picture comingBreeds in the rainy season (about May-July in the wild; March-June in one keeper's tanks). After face-to-face circling courtship, the female lays one batch of eggs over 1-3 days, mostly at the land-water edge, often on plants just above the water line; move them fully into water or they dry out.
Group of 3-4.
Paludarium with moss and shallow water.
Cool dry rest then rain.
About 50-150 eggs in one yearly clutch (literature: 100 or more); hatch rate 50-80% in captivity.
Larvae eat daphnia and brine shrimp.
Males are slimmer and smaller; females are larger and heavier. The surest sign is the cloaca: slit-shaped in males, round and cone-shaped in females (sexable from about 1 year old).
Typical for frogs, newts and turtles
