Their resistance to both drought and cold has enabled the species to survive introduction from cool, moist conditions of Northern Europe, to Australasia and Southern Africa. In conditions of drought, they simply enter a state of aestivation in the form of diapause in which embryonic development is delayed. The delay lasts till a period of soaking rain sets in or until irrigation begins. During a period of active breeding when plenty of moisture exists, the hatching period is variable; under favourable conditions, most eggs hatch in about 2 weeks, but some take 3 weeks or more, while eggs that have aestivated hatch at various intervals over period around a week to a month or more after wet conditions return.

The river is thought to have flooded seasonally with the rains, possibly drying up completely between the rainy seasons, and forming new channels on an annual to semi-annual basis. To cope with the dry periods between the seasonal rains, it has been proposed that Limnoscelis might have aestivated during these periods, with the close stratigraphic association of the original specimens found by Baldwin being possible evidence of a communal aestivation den. The environment of Limnoscelis paludis would have likely been dominated by pelycosaurs and other basal synapsids, including Sphenacodon ferox, Ophiacodon mirus, Ophiacodon navajovicus, Clepsydrops vinslovii, Aerosaurus greenleeorum, and Edaphosaurus novomexicanus. Limnoscelis paludis also likely lived alongside other diadectomorphs, including Diadectes lentus, Diasparactus zenos,and Desmatodon hollandi.
