About 200 eggs are laid in a single strand that becomes tangled in cavity. They rarely leave the water except after a heavy rainstorm. Males have five sets of cloacal glands, the posterior most set being different in its morphology and histology, that may contribute an ability of the males to court and mate with multiple females in quick succession.
Approximately 200 eggs are laid in a single strand that becomes entangled within a cavity. These eggs rarely leave the water except during heavy rainstorms. Males have five sets of cloacal glands; the posteriormost set differs in both structure and tissue composition, which might allow males to mate with multiple females quickly.
