Leptodactylus wagneri are found in a variety of habitats, usually not far from water: clearings, marshes and swamps, primary forest, secondary forest, terra firme forest, flooded forest, streams, and lakes. Eggs are laid in foam nests in standing water.[1]
Male Leptodactylus wagneri grow to a snout–vent length of 39–61 mm (1.5–2.4 in) and females to 52–82 mm (2.0–3.2 in).[3]
