Females produce from 4 to 17 eggs in a year. The eggs will hatch in 6 to 8 weeks. Not much is known about the dispersal of neonates, although it is thought that neonates and juveniles are philopatric . The huge biomass of this species in the Northeastern United States is able to make such a contribution to the biodome by consuming an equally large number of invertebrates and other detritus dwellers which quicken the decomposition of leaf-litter and fallen logs, which release great quantities of Carbon Dioxide .
