Rentapia everetti is an arboreal toad found in hilly lowland, and submontane, tropical primary moist forest and good secondary forest. The size of these toads is unknown.[3] Breeding probably takes place in small, slow-moving, clear, rocky streams.[1]

Rentapia everetti are recognizable by their morphological traits, including large oval parotoid glands, numerous round warts, and a sharp tarsal fold.[4]
