Description edit
Oreobates sanderi are medium-sized among the Oreobates; adults measure 28–38 mm (1.1–1.5 in) in snout–vent length. The head is large and as wide as long; the snout is short. The dorsum is pale brown to dark brown with cream flecks; the skin is granular, with round keratinized granules and small (only some slightly enlarged), sparse, low, flat warts.[3]
Habitat edit
Its natural habitat is humid montane forest, such as cloud forest (the Yungas of La Paz Department). These frogs are found on forest litter or the ground near streams.[1]
