Mertens (1964a) reported on the frugivorous habits of this species in captivity. Rhacodactylus auriculatus is highly variable in color and a wide range of pattern phases may be found at one locality (Böhme & Henkel 1985). The species is oviparous and lays two eggs (approximately 25 x 11 mm). Repeated copulations are common in captivity (K. McCloud pers. comm.). No laying sites have been found in New Caledonia and it is possible that the species can breed al

The species is oviparous and lays two eggs (approximately 25 x 11 mm). Repeated copulations are common in captivity (K. McCloud pers. comm.). No laying sites have been found in New Caledonia and it is possible that the species can breed all year. Incubation period ranges from 42—48 days (Henkel 1986a) to about 60 days (K. McCloud pers. comm.). Mites are fre- quently present in mite-pockets on the hindlimbs (Böhme & Henkel 1985; pers. obs.).. : Neotypc of Rhacodactylus chahoua (Bavay, 1869). CAS 156692 (SVL - 136 mm)..
