Amplexus was observed frequently from October to May; eggs were preferentially deposited between stones ofvarious sizes or burried in the sand; egg-laying was spread over several months and had a maximum in spring; clutch size was hight (maximum: 221) as compared to that of the closely related species E. montanus and E. asper.
