– This species is generally active following periods of precipitation when individuals are found congregating in the vicinity of temporary water. During intermittent dry periods, this species usually resides in burrows, treeholes, or beneath surface objects. No rain had fallen on P. Aceh within weeks of our first collection period and in 2004, no rain had fallen for two months prior to our visit. On 29 August 2003, two specimens (LSUHC 5712– 13) were collected from the trunks of separate trees sitting 1.5 m above the forest floor facing head-up. During the evening, both were pale grey and both had turned dark brown by morning. On 9 September 2004, a single specimen (LSUHC 6954) was found in a small tree cavity filled with putrid water 2.5 m above the ground.
