Verrucosus care?

I have been trying to read other threads about husbandry and breeding for these guys, but nothing was very explanatory in detail. I assume they are almost identical to Oustalets in regards to husbandry and breeding, but could someone let me know if they are not, and what their requirements are? Also, if anyone has advice on breeding, I would greatly appreciate it as well. There is not much information about this species, so anything that anyone has would be wonderful. Sincere thanks!
 
Most of their husbandry is similar to Oustalets, however the main difference is that Verrucosus are much shier. I would give more space and plants for a Verrucousus habitat.
 
especially the females are very shy . The alsway turn behind the wood whenever i came to the viv. Males re not so much shy.

I keep mine just like my Veiled, except they drink way more. I do agree that the females are more shy, at least that is what my pair has shown. I think the same sized cage as Veileds would do. I have provided a thickly planted cage for both, and they utilize every inch of cover and cage. I haven't gotten to breeding yet, as I feel the female is not of size to properly carry eggs without doing damage to her health. But, I have been told their gestation is around a month.
