The water holding frog can draw its internal organs in tight to keep them all moist. They also secrete a form of mucus over themselves which preserves water in their bodies. They can go several years without water, and when it rains, they will all come up. Rainy season is mating season. When it rains, the males will look for a mate. Mating ensues quickly, and the tadpoles metamorphosis much quicker than an ordinary frogs.

Small leaves minimize water loss.
Frogs do not do well in a desert unless there is a permanent water supply. They have very thin skin and can quickly dehydrate in the dry desert. They are adapted to moist or wet environments.
Frogs live in water when tadpoles.When the tadpoles become frog's they have to live near water or in a moist place because the frog's skin drys out quickly.
They minimize water loss
When it rains in desert regions, frogs often emerge from underground burrows or hidden crevices where they have been dormant during dry periods. These frogs, such as the spadefoot toad, have adapted to survive long droughts by entering a state of estivation. When rain falls, they quickly rehydrate, breed, and take advantage of the temporary pools of water for reproduction and feeding. This remarkable adaptation allows them to thrive in harsh and arid environments.
Small leaves minimize water loss.
Having large leaves to capture sunlight in low-light conditions is an adaptation in a rainforest that would not be suitable in a desert where water conservation is more critical.
They either live in a pond most likely or on some type of water. Most common frogs live near swampy places or by ponds, lakes, or creeks. But some frogs also live in the desert or in forests. That is really unlikely for a frog to live in a desert that is near no water.
Frogs can only survive in areas with permanent water and such areas are rare in a desert.
Ability to live with little water
Frogs that live in the desert survive the drought by living underground. Their skin condenses water, creating a thin membrane around their bodies that keep them moist. They will then come up when rain come, in order to breed.
