It typically nests communally in cooler weather, and individually in warmer weather. Communal egg deposition in cooler temperatures is thought to be an adaptation for increased egg and embryo survival, creating a thermal advantage, similar to that of the Wood frog. Eggs hatch in 4 days to nearly two weeks.
During colder periods, it commonly nests together, whereas during warmer times, it does so individually. The collective placement of eggs in cold conditions is seen as an adaptation for better egg and embryo survival, comparable to the Wood frog's approach. Eggs hatch within a period ranging from four days to nearly two weeks.
